Description
(Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) On a thin perilous stretch of coastline off the coast of North Carolina lie the Outer Banks. To those sailing these waters the area is known as "The Graveyard of the Atlantic ". Some locals say that because of all the bodies that washed ashore here from the many shipwrecks, the island got its name. This classic brick tower was completed in 1872, stands 165 feet tall and the light can still be seen from 19 miles away. Now a National Park and protected seashore, it is surrounded by a freshwater marshland abundant with wildlife. Here I really enjoyed my walk towards ... The Bodie Island 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!
