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.

Feathered Architects - Little Swifts Turn Concrete Jungle into a Cozy Colony in Kenya's Masai Mara!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph captured by David Tipling, we witness the incredible ingenuity of nature as little swifts, scientifically known as Apus affinis, transform an urban landscape into their own bustling bird metropolis. Nestled snugly under a building arch in Masai Mara, Kenya, these tiny avian architects have created a vibrant community that seamlessly blends with the human-made structures. With their nimble wings and impeccable precision, these feathered builders have constructed intricate nests that dot the archway like miniature condos. It's truly awe-inspiring to see how they've adapted to city life while maintaining their wild instincts. As birds flit around busily tending to their nests and chirping joyously amidst the concrete backdrop, it becomes evident that even in such an urban setting, wildlife thrives alongside people. This harmonious coexistence between humans and nature is a testament to our shared planet's resilience and adaptability. So next time you find yourself strolling through the streets of Masai Mara or any other city for that matter, take a moment to appreciate these remarkable little swifts who remind us that even amidst towering buildings and busy streetscapes, there is always room for nature's touch of beauty and charm.
