Bats Cave Caves Hanging Hibernating Nocturnal Roosting Sleeping Upside Down Wintering
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.

Upside Down Dreamers - The Bat Brigade Takes a Winter Nap!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting snapshot captured by Yves Bilat, we witness the secret slumber party of BLT-423, a Greater Horseshoe Bat. As winter blankets Europe with its icy embrace, these nocturnal creatures find solace in Reclere's cave. Hanging upside down like acrobats from their cozy roosts, they embark on an extraordinary hibernation adventure. BLT-423 and its fellow bat buddies have mastered the art of sleeping while defying gravity. With their delicate wings folded neatly around them, they create an otherworldly spectacle that would make even the most seasoned trapeze artist envious! These rare and endangered mammals are true winter warriors. While humans bundle up in layers upon layers to brave the cold, these furry superheroes rely on their natural instincts to survive freezing temperatures without breaking a sweat (or should we say "wing-flap"?). As our little winged friend snoozes away peacefully amidst stalactites and ancient rock formations, it reminds us of nature's incredible ability to adapt and thrive in even the harshest conditions. So next time you're feeling weary during those chilly months or simply need some inspiration for your own power naps – take a cue from BLT-423! Embrace your inner bat spirit animal and remember that sometimes hanging upside down is just what you need for a truly restful sleep.
