Description
(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) A main tourist attraction on the Greek Isle of Rhodes is the famous old walled city. The high stone walls surrounding the city were built to protect the residents from attacks by would-be invaders. Now the huge old city gates are wide open for tourists who come from all over the world to shop, eat and see the sights. Like this heavy old metal door securely bolted to the thick stone walls. I was attracted by the light, shadows and textures of this scene. So I stopped to make a foolish attempt at opening the door. But just like an evil invader of days gone by, I was kept on the outside by ... Steel And Stone.
I created this black and white image from my original color photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures or other effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green magnifier square as the cursor is placed over the image.
