Description
(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) As a mature member of the so-called " Baby Boomer " generation, I have been known to occasionally lose my train of thought. So one day I decided that I would go out somewhere, and look for it. My search led me to the nearby Railway Museum of Greater Cincinnati, which is actually located at an old Louisville & Nashville train yard in Covington, Kentucky. I found an interesting collection of old locomotives, freight cars, passenger cars and other pieces of equipment all of which are outdoors on tracks where they should be. In various stages of preservation, repair and restoration, they are being tended to by dedicated and hard working train enthusiasts for all of us to remember and enjoy. For a small entry fee, I was able to walk around freely and was provided with a map explaining the history of the trains on display. I was even permitted to climb aboard a few of them and one of the workers gladly provided more detailed information. I really enjoyed my history lesson and travel back in time one day when I found my lost train of thought at an old... Kentucky Railroad Yard.
I created this image from my original photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures and painterly-style 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.
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!
