Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Noctilucent cloud
Noctilucent cloud over trees. This type of cloud, also known as polar mesospheric, is visible only in deep twilight and is seen mostly during the summer. It is the highest cloud type in the Earths atmosphere and occurs only when sunlight illuminates it from below the horizon, while the ground and lower layers of the atmosphere are in the Earths shadow. Photographed in Turku, Finland, in July

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
This mesmerizing print captures the ethereal beauty of a Noctilucent cloud gracefully hovering over a serene forest in Turku, Finland. As the sun sets and darkness envelops the landscape, these rare polar mesospheric clouds come to life, casting an enchanting glow against the deep blue sky. Visible only during deep twilight and predominantly seen in summer, these high-altitude cloud formations are a captivating phenomenon. The tranquil atmosphere of this Finnish wood is enhanced by the peacefulness and calmness that emanates from this natural spectacle. The vibrant colors reflected in the photograph evoke a sense of tranquility and serenity, as if nature itself has paused to admire its own creation. In this moment captured back in July 2006, we witness how sunlight illuminates these elusive clouds from below the horizon while the ground and lower layers of Earth's atmosphere remain shrouded in darkness. This unique interplay between light and shadow creates an otherworldly display that leaves observers awe-struck. As we gaze upon this extraordinary image, we are reminded of our planet's remarkable geographical diversity and atmospheric wonders. It serves as a reminder that even within our everyday surroundings lie hidden marvels waiting to be discovered – like these noctilucent clouds dancing above us on those warm summer nights.
