Ancient Snow Gum

AWARD - Highly Commended in the 2005 BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition

An ancient Snow Gum grows high in the mountains of Australia, Charlotte's Pass, Snowy Mountains, New South Wales.

Limited to just 50 prints.

"In 2005, I attended a workshop at Charlotte’s Pass in the Snowy Mountains, home to Australia’s lowest recorded mainland temperature of -22 degrees.

The day we arrived arrived for workshop, it was relatively balmy however a cool change swept through that night and by the morning the temperature had dropped to near zero. Having some free time, we explored the forest behind our lodge, finding these fantastic ancient snow gums that had been there for centuries. With it lightly raining, the water dripped off the trunk, saturating the colours and revealing the stunning variation in colours.

After an hour or so the cold became too much for our cold fingers and we retreated inside. This image won a High Commendation in the 2005 BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, the only Australian entry to receive an award that year."

  To be honest, we prefer to ship artwork to you framed (of course, unframed prints work best when ordering from outside Australia). We believe in quality, framed artwork delivered directly to your door and ready to hang. That's service. No more finding a framer, wondering if you’re paying too much, painfully choosing from myriad of frame options then waiting weeks for the job to be done. 
  - We use only the best quality materials to ensure your print will look amazing and last forever.
  - We have just 3 frames to choose from - raw oak, black or white. That’s it.
  - Our shadow box framing is stylish and contemporary. We’re sure it will look smashing in your home or office.
  - The deep frame has the print sit out from the wall to give it substance and style.
  - Your print is printed on archival quality papers with archival inks, ensuring your print won’t fade or wrinkle.
  - Your Tom Putt Print comes signed and a small title is added to the left hand corner.
  - The sizes on the website are for the overall print size - which includes the frame and the digital matt (a white border is added to the print rather than a traditional matt board).

• HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO SHIP TO ME?
  Delivery for artwork within Australia is just AUD$250. Live overseas? Please send us an email and we can quote you a shipping fee. Shipping starts at AUD$550.

  DO YOU SHIP TO PO BOXES?
  Unfortunately, we can't ship to PO Boxes. Delivery must be to a physical address. We're more than happy to deliver to your company or work address too.

  WHO WILL DELIVER MY PRINT?
  A manly guy in crisp white overalls, slightly unbuttoned, smelly of your favourite after shave and drop dead eyes that will take you breath away (just think of those Manpower guys). Seriously though, we carefully have your Tom Putt Print delivered directly to your door by our expert couriers.

  DO I NEED TO BE HOME TO ACCEPT THE DELIVERY?
  Are you kidding me? With the description above, you're asking that question?Yes you will need to be home to sign for your Tom Putt Print (unless you give us the OK for it to be left somewhere safe and secure at your home).

  HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO ARRIVE?
  Please allow just 8 weeks to custom make and deliver your stunning Tom Putt Print.

  WHAT IF MY PRINT ARRIVES DAMAGED?
  Take that man to the side and give him what for! Seriously though, we make sure your gorgeous Inspire Print is packaged so tight and snug that it will arrive in pristine condition. However, sometimes the delivery guys have a bad day and your print might be damaged (that would kill us FYI). Just let us know and we'll arrange a replacement print ASAP.

  ISN'T SENDING FRAMED PRINTS VIA MAIL RISKY?
