In Illumination , photographer Lynn Davis reveals the spiritual nature of her work through her exploration of the world's greatest universal sites, both man-made and natural. Setting herself in the grand tradition of nineteenth century landscape photography, and driven by a desire to record the natural and architectural monuments of the world, Davis documents the icebergs of Greenland, the pyramids of Egypt, the ancient architectural ruins of Burma, Nepal, Thailand, India, and China, as well as mythical natural wonders, including the Grand Geyser in Yellowstone and Wave Rock in Australia.
