Description

(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) Many things are not always what they seem to be. In 1900, George C. Boldt the famous owner of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, began construction of a full-size Rhineland castle. He chose Heart Island near Alexandria Bay on the St. Lawrence River to build a six-story, 120 room castle for his wife Louise. Sadly, she died suddenly during construction in 1904. George immediately stopped further work on the castle and never returned to Heart Island. For 73 years the castle remained empty and subjected to the ravages of weather and time. Then in 1977, the 1000 Islands Bridge Authority acquired the property, began restoration efforts and opened the castle to the public. This classic structure merely housed the diesel generators to produce electricity for the real thing, but to me it appeared to be a ... Castle In The Sky.

I created this black and white image from my original color 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!
