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
1. Title: "A Desert Oasis' Hidden Wonders: The Crater-shaped Termites' Home in Egypt's Arabian Desert" 2.. This photograph showcases the unique and intriguing crater-shaped entrance of a termites' termitarium, nestled in an uninhabited oasis on the outskirts of a salt water spring in Egypt's Arabian desert. Approximately 50 km from Hurghada town, this hidden gem is a testament to the wonders of nature that can be found in the most unexpected places. The termitarium, typical of those found in such environments, is a marvel of engineering and adaptation. The crater-like entrance is a result of the termites' constant excavation and expansion of their subterranean home. The termites' intricate network of tunnels and chambers, built from mud and saliva, provides shelter and protection from the harsh desert conditions. The desert oasis, a rare sight in the arid landscape, is a vital source of water for various forms of wildlife, including these industrious termites. The salt water spring, which sustains the oasis, is a remnant of the ancient underground aquifers that once covered much of the Sahara. This photograph transports us to a time when the Arabian desert was home to diverse ecosystems and abundant life. The termites' termitarium serves as a reminder of the rich history and biodiversity that can be found in the countries of North Africa and the Middle East, and the importance of preserving these fragile habitats for future generations. The termites' crater-shaped entrance, with its intricate details and unique beauty, is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of nature in the face of adversity. This photograph invites us to explore the hidden wonders of the desert and to appreciate the intricate balance of life that exists in even the most inhospitable environments.
