The Bat House

Location: Gainesville, Florida USA

Description: The Florida Bat Conservatory in Gainesville, FL. The University of Florida bat house, which is located on campus just north of Lake Alice, was constructed in 1991. It consists of a single gabled roof, the base of which is situated twenty feet above the ground on five wood poles.  The house is eighteen feet square and is constructed of exterior grade plywood. To the casual observer it might look like a big attic on stilts. Under the “attic” there are 180 crevices created by partitions spaced at varying distances of 3/4, 1 and 1-1/4 inches apart. These crevices were designed to provide comfortable living quarters for an estimated 250,000 bats. The bat house has been a lesser known, yet popular, attraction since 1991.

Please Note: The sample image(s) have been compressed for optimal web download. The original print you will receive is extremely vibrant, ultra sharp and has a much higher resolution which can only be appreciated in person.  Also, the watermark "Copyright ©" on the image will NOT appear on your order.

Museum Quality Archival Metallic Prints: I exclusively prefer the richness of the higher-quality metallic paper because of how perfectly it compliments the tones and subtleties of my infrared work. This museum quality archival paper and process uses a patented combination of film and laminate layers that result in a striking, three-dimensional, extremely vivid, lasting image on an ultra-bright pearlescent / metallic background. You don’t have to worry about prints fading with these high quality prints. The standard archival value is 100 years in home display and 200 years in dark storage. I only use professional printing services that meet my professional high standards.
