23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

Nature's High-Rise Apartments - Great Horned Owl Takes Over Red-Tailed Hawk Penthouse in Saguaro Cactus!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by wildlife enthusiast Jim Zipp, we witness a truly unique real estate arrangement in the heart of Southeast Arizona. A majestic Great Horned Owl has ingeniously repurposed an old Red-Tailed Hawk nest nestled within a towering Saguaro Cactus. With its piercing yellow eyes and magnificent plumage, the owl proudly perches at its lofty abode, showcasing the perfect blend of resourcefulness and adaptability. This avian architect has chosen an unconventional home that not only provides safety from predators but also offers breathtaking views of the surrounding desert landscape. As night falls over North America, this nocturnal beauty takes center stage, embodying the mysterious allure associated with owls. Its hoots echo through the stillness of the United States' wilderness as it guards its precious eggs or watches over its fluffy offspring. Jim Zipp's remarkable photograph encapsulates nature's harmonious coexistence and reminds us that even in seemingly inhospitable environments like cacti-filled deserts, life finds a way to thrive. So next time you spot a saguaro cactus standing tall against all odds, remember to look up – for hidden within might be one of these enchanting creatures turning prickly homes into cozy nests!
