Colour Dead Vlei Dune Namibia Orange Sand Sossusvlei
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 print titled "Petrified Trees, The Dead Vlei" photographer Michael Cook transports us to the mesmerizing landscape of Sossusvlei in Namibia. The image showcases the otherworldly beauty of Dead Vlei, a dried-up clay pan surrounded by towering sand dunes. The scene is awash with vibrant colors that evoke a sense of wonder and awe. The burnt orange hues of the sandy desert floor perfectly complement the deep blue sky above. Against this backdrop, we are drawn to the petrified trees that stand as silent witnesses to time's passage. These ancient trees, long deceased yet eerily preserved by the arid climate, create an intriguing juxtaposition against their barren surroundings. Their skeletal forms reach towards the heavens like ghostly sentinels frozen in time. As we gaze upon this UNESCO World Heritage Site through Cook's lens, we can almost feel ourselves transported back in time - imagining how these once-living giants thrived amidst a lush oasis before succumbing to nature's forces. Cook's masterful composition and use of color capture both the desolation and ethereal beauty found within this remote corner of Africa. This stunning photograph serves as a reminder of our planet's remarkable diversity and resilience while also igniting our curiosity about its hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. "Petrfied Trees, The Dead Vlei" invites us on an unforgettable journey into one of Earth's most extraordinary landscapes – where history meets artistry under vast African skies.
