Description

(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) Cities all over the world possess things for which they have some level of fame. Here in a Cincinnati suburb known as Mt. Lookout, you will find the first and oldest professional observatory facility in the United States. Former President John Quincy Adams who loved the science of astronomy, laid the cornerstone of this building in 1843. The original telescope, an 11 inch wood and brass refractor dates back to 1842 and still works today. A newer and larger 16 inch refractor was made in 1904 that is also still in use. People from all over come to tour the museum and view the moon, stars and planets through these antique telescopes. You can visit and learn much more at this famous observatory, just another one of the well-known ... Cincinnati Landmarks.

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!
