Description
This Fine Art Photograph is titled "Holiday Village, Leavenworth, WA." Leavenworth is nestled in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. In the early 1960's the town citizens got together and decided to change Leavenworth's appearance, hoping to bring tourism into the area. Using the beautiful backdrop of the surrounding Alpine hills to their advantage, the town agreed to remodel their hamlet in the form of a Bavarian village.
Hoping to create more than a mere facelift, the entire community rallied to create the illusion of Bavaria in the middle of Washington State. Besides the complete renovation of the downtown area, community members worked to begin a series of festivals. The Autumn Leaf Festival, Mayfest and the extremely popular Christmas Lighting Ceremony were the some of many attractions Leavenworth offers. My wife and I go to enjoy the winter beauty and great German food.
This would make an excellent Holiday/Christmas card!
This Fine Art Photograph would look great displayed in a library, waiting room, lobby, home office, gift shop, restaurant, lodge, motel, hotel, and store anywhere an artistic statement is desired. It would also make a treasured gift.

Wonderful image, Greg. Love the empty spaces in the snow left by the vehicles that were parked. Great mood and very creative. Really like the process you are using to finish your images. Have not been out to Leavenworth since I moved to WA and must make that effort soon. L/F

I'ina: Thanks for the nice comments. My wife and I go every January to spend a few days there. The village is very quiet during the day then, until the skiers come off the slopes. Easy parking, the village is still alight. A more casual atmosphere.
