Peeking Out - Inspirational Photography & Fine Art Landscapes by Josiah Friberg

I took this inspirational photography image at the base of Stone Mountain in Wilkes County, North Carolina. There is a historic homestead there made of wood, mud, and stones. This isn't quite a fine art landscape, but it does capture the high quality natural materials that were used to build this homestead. The child peeking out of the window communicates to me a curiosity towards the outside world and the beauty that lies beyond that window; i.e. Stone Mountain and the state park that now encompasses it. It's truly a beautiful place to go hiking, fishing, bird watching, and camping.

Mountain Solitude - Inspirational Photography & Fine Art Landscapes by Josiah Friberg

I've always loved fog in the mountains and by the seashore. When I saw how foggy it was a few mornings ago on my way to work in Boone, I decided to drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway to see what I could find. I came upon this scene and just knew I had to capture it and share it with the world, so here it is for you to enjoy and be inspired by.

Blessed Children - Inspirational Photography & Fine Art Landscapes by Josiah Christian Friberg

Children are a true blessing of the Lord and a reward. I am so thankful to God and my wife for my precious children. Here are my two youngest out for a walk in the fresh autumn air up on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. I ran ahead of them, set up my tripod, and then waited for them to come around the corner. I wanted to get an action shot because I'm getting tired of posed photos. I was happy with the result as they came walking around the corner hand-in-hand with their beautiful mother. You may have heard the hymn, "Count your many blessings, name them one by one." Well, here are three of my biggest blessings, with one missing. I hope this inspirational photography image and fine art landscape inspires you to count your many blessings and to name them one by one.

Flaming Autumn Forest - Inspirational Photography & Fine Art Landscapes by Josiah Friberg

While driving around the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina in the fall, there's one song that continually comes to my mind. Actually, it's an ancient hymn that most of us are familiar with. It's called, "How Great Thou Art." Each verse ends with the chorus, "Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee, how great Thou art, how great Thou art!" These are the words that rise in my soul when I survey the awesome beauty of God's creation and all of the flaming colors of the autumn landscape.

When I first saw the above scene, the brilliantly colored trees seemed to be so alive and flaming in all their beauty. I hope that this fine art landscape and inspirational photography image sparks a sense of wonder and awe in your heart at the glorious beauty of God's unfolding autumn artwork. This photograph was taken at the base of Grandfather Mountain, on the Blue Ridge Parkway, about 5 miles southwest of Blowing Rock, North Carolina.

Autumn Frost - Fine Art Landscapes & Inspirational Photography by Josiah Friberg

I just love the autumn more than any other season. There's something very precious about all of the leaves changing such brilliant colors, the cold windy days, and the early morning frost that covers the grass and plants. I took this inspirational photography image of a frost covered plant up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. My goal is to help others see the awesome beauty and splendor in God's creation through my fine art landscapes. I hope viewing this photograph inspires a new sense of wonder in your heart towards your Creator and towards His awesome creation. God bless you!

Autumn Glories - by Pam Clark

Autumn is just a glorious time of year - and seeing it reflected in the water under this bridge is just beautiful to me.

Autumn Cross - by Pam Clark

As I was walking through the woods behind my house, the "design" of this fallen tree in the shape of a cross just grabbed my attention. It was like a special message, hidden in the woods just for me. But now I joyfully share it with the world: Jesus loves you! so much that He died on a cross for you, paying the price for your sin that you may enter Heaven for eternal life, if you can only believe it. I do and it's changed my life!

This photo tied for second place in our November Photo Contest where the theme was "Autumn."

Early Autumn - by Pam Clark

The trees were just beginning to turn and the sun was shining at just the right angle to make the top leaves glow. This picture came in second in our November Photo Contest and tied with another picture I entered.

Trumpet Lily Vignette - by Pam Clark

A beautiful trumpet lily from the yard of my sweet neighbor - it just takes your breath away. They are about a foot wide in diameter and maybe a bit longer. It's impossible to capture the glory of the whole thing in one picture. They only bloom and last two to three days of the year here, but are certainly worth the wait and the pictures!

Autumn Parkway - Inspirational Photography & Fine Art Landscapes by Josiah Friberg

This inspirational photography image was taken on the Blue Ridge Parkway about two miles southwest of Deep Gap, North Carolina. This fine art landscape speaks to me about the beauty of God's creation and how He uses fog to paint an impressionistic masterpiece. I love being in fog up in the mountains when you can't tell if you're in the clouds or just in fog. I hope this autumn photograph inspires you to go for a long walk in the fog and to enjoy the fresh outdoor fall air and brilliant colors.
