An old Fire Watch Tower at Glade Top Trail, Missouri. This is a steel tower with a small wooden room, with nothing but windows, at the top, Every day, all day, there would have been a person in this room watching for any sign of a fire, from the town below, the forest, or in a town further away. This tower was built on a hill and was one of the tallest, and one of the few still standing. When towers were the only way to see a fire, if you knew where to look, you could see another tower with binoculars. This way no land was left un-monitored at any time.

This is one of the darkest skies in Missouri. One of the only places in the state that you can still see the miilky way. In the bottom right corner you can see the Orion Nebula. this is a bright nebula that you can see with your necked eye and one of the easiest to find.

This print will be printed on Metalic finish paper, which is a glossy paper that has a little more dimension to it.

All of the prints will have a small white border, which will not be seen when matting/framing.

This is available with to without a black matt.

With the matt you will need a frame that is one size bigger. For an 8x10 print you will need an 11x14 frame. An 11x14 print will need a 16x20 inch frame.

I recommend using Museum Glass when framing, it is significantly more expensive than regular glass, but it will prevent the print from fading, and will prevent any reflection. Since this is a dark print the print itself would reflect you and the light from the room, making it very difficult to see. Museum glass prevents glare, even in full sun, the print can still be seen.

All of my prints archival inkjet, with ink rated to last without fade for 100 years in proper storage or display. The sun will fade prints if they are not protected and exstream impurities in the air.

Frame is not included.

Glass is not included.

This is not ready to hang, you will either need a frame or some other kind of hanger, this is either just the print or the print with a matt that will fit a frame. If you buy one with the matt then you will need to take the matt that comes with the frame out. No additional backing is needed, but if the frame has room for it, it will make the print more stable.
