Mount Kosciuszko & Lake Cootapatamba, Kosciuszko National Park, New South Wales, Australia
Mount Kosciuszko, at 2228 metres, is Australia's highest mainland mountain. Its peak and surrounding areas are snow covered in winter and spring. Sitting just below the summit is Lake Cootapatamba, a post glacial tarn and the highest lake in Australia at 2042 metres. I wanted to capture both of these highest features of Australia during the middle of winter. I had been camped out for a few days, not having seen anyone since I headed out backcountry. The weather had been horrible, consistent fog, snow with high winds and poor visibility, not to mention the below freezing temperatures. My morale was low having captured only a few photographs and the weather forecasts bearing no resemblance to what I was experiencing. After enduring a night of buffeting high winds I awoke on this morning before sunrise to relatively clear skies. After walking out in the pre dawn dark I was greeted by an ever changing light show before me, with dramatic changes in colours and constantly changing cloud formations due to the high winds. The waiting game and frustrating days prior had finally paid off as I enjoyed this scene and the view around me.

Museum quality, fine art paper and inks.
We use fine art cotton paper from either Hahnemühle or Canson. This exceptionally high quality fine art paper is acid free and printed using genuine pigment inks - favoured by galleries and collectors because of their print longevity.
As a print only, this requires framing, allowing you to select your own mounting and framing options. The listed size includes a 8cm white border around each side of the photo, allowing sufficient room to accommodate various framing choices.
Unframed prints come rolled in a protective tube, making them our recommendation for international customers.
A clean, simple and modern look, suitable for any home.
Small Frame:The small frame (2cm wide x 2cm deep) is limited to our smallest sizes of framed prints. Your fine art paper print is mounted with a matt border, framed and completed with acrylic that protects against 70% of UV. The listed size is for the total finished framed dimensions of this artwork
Shadow Box Frame:Your fine art paper print is mounted and framed in a contemporary shadow box frame (27mm wide x 48mm deep) that is available in white or raw wood.
It is completed with museum grade acrylic (rather than glass) as it is light weight, transports well (doesn't break) and protects against 99% of UV.
Framed prints come ready to hang. The listed size is the total finished frame size, including the frame and border around the image.
Frameless, glass like feel. A clean, modern look for your print.
The photo is printed on metallic paper, creating a 'pearlescent' metallic gloss finish. The print is face mounted onto optically clear, museum grade acrylic which offers 99% UV protection.
The print is backed with treated aluminium, protecting your print from front to back. It is then finished with a diamond edge polisher.
Ready to hang on your wall, with a thin aluminium frame hidden behind the print.
