Borneo Coral Delicate Dive Diving Feathery Giganteus Mabul Malaysia Quirky Reef Sabah Saltwater Seawater Sipadan Spirobranchus Unusual Weird Worm

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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting snapshot, Picture No. 11675192 captures a mesmerizing sight beneath the ocean waves. Meet the Christmas Tree Worms, nature's quirky decorators! These delightful creatures, scientifically known as Spirobranchus giganteus, have transformed themselves into living ornaments on a vibrant coral reef. As if plucked straight from Santa's workshop, these delicate worms sport feathery crowns in an array of festive colors - reds, greens, and even shimmering golds. With their unusual appearance and undeniable charm, they bring holiday cheer to even the deepest depths! Diving enthusiasts exploring Mabul Island in Borneo's Sabah region are treated to this whimsical spectacle. As they plunge into the saltwater wonderland surrounding Sipadan Island, these underwater trees greet them with open "branches" creating a magical ambiance that rivals any land-based Christmas tree. While we can't hang tinsel or place presents under these marine marvels' branches (and let's not mention commercial use), their presence reminds us of nature's ability to surprise and delight us in unexpected ways. So next time you're feeling down about your own decorating skills or looking for some inspiration for your holiday festivities - just remember these festive worms who prove that sometimes being odd is what makes something truly extraordinary!
