Description
(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) Covered bridges always take me on a trip back in time. I recently found this great piece of Americana near the border of West Virginia and Virginia, at exit 10 just off Interstate 64. It was built in 1857 of hand-hewn timbers with a 100 foot span over Dunlap Creek just west of Covington. Local residents and businesses lovingly restored Virginia's oldest remaining bridge in 1954 and dedicated it as a memorial to the pioneer spirit of Alleghany County. The unique arch design raises the center section four feet higher than either end. That is why this classic structure was named the ... Humpback Covered Bridge.
I created this image from my original 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!
