Description
(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) When most people think of Ohio they probably think a state far from the ocean would not have any lighthouses. But Ohio does lie along the southern shores of Lake Erie which happens to be the world's 12th largest freshwater lake. So surprisingly, there are 24 lighthouses still remaining in Ohio. At the tip of the Marblehead Peninsula at Sandusky Bay, I found the oldest lighthouse on The Great Lakes. Built in 1821, this classic structure was the only aid to navigation in this area for many years. Restored once again in 2001, the tower, light keeper's home, barn and grounds are now Ohio's newest State Park. So the next time you are not close to an ocean, but happen to be in Ohio you should head north towards Lake Erie and visit ... The Marblehead Lighthouse.
I created this image from my original 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.
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!
