Lincoln Memorial Washington DC With Vintage Map Canvas Print

Probably one of the most iconic landmarks in Washington DC, the Lincoln Memorial sits at the Western end of the National Mall and looks out over the Reflecting Pool towards the Washington Monument and Capitol Building beyond. Opened in 1922 in honor of the 16th President of the United States, this captivating statue is visited by over 6 million people from all corners of the globe every year. Equally mesmerizing by day and night, this is a must see on any visit to the US capital city. I hand blended a vintage map of Washington DC from the year 1862 and a selection of textures with my original photograph of this classic Washington scene.

I'm a travel photographer and photo artist. I like to explore every nook and cranny of anywhere I visit and I'm always looking out for something unusual or unique, weird and wonderful, interesting and intriguing. For me, half the challenge is in the initial taking of the photo, the looking for something that catches my attention, getting that perfect composition, but the other half is in the processing, the tweaking and twisting and the addition of a little imagination to see how much detail I can bring to the surface and hopefully let the viewer see the same as I did when I took the shot. My images have been shot here, there and everywhere, mainly in the historic cities of Europe and with the occasional one taken in my own surroundings...
