These emotions can help relieve stress and anxiety with our daily lives. Studies have been conducted in the Healthcare industry which prove that these types of images also help promote self healing, which helps speed up the entire healing process.
About This Landscape Photograph
Sun Rays Through Treetops is a beautifully inspiring landscape photograph that was created in the wooded area of Iron Hill Park located in Newark, Delaware. This image was created during the early morning hours of a humid summer day to capture the beautiful light gleaming through the treetops and the haze from the humidity.

It was photographed with a single exposure on a sanitized fabric. The whole building was used as a camera. The photograph was a part of the Legacy Project and is referred to as the Great Picture. It is 111 feet wide and 32 feet high!
