Description
(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) This Cincinnati - Northern Kentucky landmark is more famous than most people realize. Construction that began in 1856, was delayed by financial troubles and the Civil War. It was the 1st bridge connecting Cincinnati to Covington when it opened on New Year's Day in 1867. At a span over the river of 1057 feet, it was the world's longest suspension bridge. John A. Roebling's bridge was also the prototype for the Brooklyn Bridge. As a boy we called it The Singing Bridge because of the noise made by car tires running on the steel deck. Today, some people call it Roebling's Bridge, but most just call it ... The Suspension Bridge.
I created this black and white image from my original color photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures and other effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green square magnifier as the cursor is placed over the image.
PLEASE NOTE: Our professional printing facilities have a feature for customers who desire artwork prepared for them to be in standard sizes such as 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30, 36 x 24 and so on. When you select your image to purchase, from the SIZE tab choose a VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE format. Notice that some portions of my original image may not be included in these cropped formats. The NATURAL format is the way I composed the image in camera or during final processing. Sometimes this would create an image size which required the use of non-standard mats or frames. So go ahead and see for yourself, by viewing my images in these new formats to decide which one may (or may not) best suit your needs or style of wall art. Of course, you may always choose the NATURAL format and purchase my art as it was originally composed and created.
Many thanks and best wishes!
