Description

(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) On the Greek Isle of Mykonos, a small section of the town harbor area is known there as Mikri Venetia. The houses, shops and cafes were built precariously on the edge of the blue waters of the Aegean Sea. Folklore says this was done during the 16th and 17th centuries for pirates sailing these waters who often needed to quickly load and unload their treasures. The pirates have now been replaced by tourists who come by the hundreds to drink, eat, and be merry in this area known as ... Little Venice.

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!
