Japanese Garden Path (Panorama)

The story behind creating the image:
The Missouri Botanical Garden is full of lovely, serene nature scenes that calm one. This wooden path through the Japanese garden on a pond is one such scene. It is  useful when hung on a wall to relieve stress in staff & patients within a medical facility or just  simply to add serenity to one’s  own life for a moment. This panoramic composition emphasizes the near range with the path, transitions via the path to the pond in the mid range & finally to the trees & bushes against the sky in the far range. The path & shoreline form convenient leading lines to take one’s eye through the image.
