Classy Couple - Inspirational Photography & Fine Art Landscapes by Josiah Friberg

I took this inspirational photography and fine art landscape last summer in Rockport Harbor, Massachusetts. This is one of my favorite quaint New England harbors where you can find all kinds of boats and gift shops. Rockport is actually a haven for artists, so you can find wonderful paintings and photographs for sale. This photograph focuses on two classy traditional lobster boats moored in the midst of other more modern boats. It is a crowded harbor, so it's hard to photograph one or two boats all by themselves. I hope this photograph inspires you to get to the ocean and go out on a boat for some fresh ocean air.

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!

Grandfather Mountain Bridge - Inspirational Photography & Fine Art Landscapes by Josiah Friberg

This is a different view of Grandfather Mountain on the Blue Ridge Parkway that shows the famous high suspension bridge at the very top.

Beauty of Love - Inspirational Photography and Fine Art Portrait by Josiah Friberg of Moravian Falls

I took this inspirational photography image of my wife when she was pregnant with my son, Judah. I like the way that most of her face is in the shadows and turned away from the diffused light coming in the window. This fine art photograph speaks to me of the beauty of a pregnant woman and the beauty of the love that holds the husband and wife together and brings forth a God-designed family.

Artistic Child Creativity - Inspirational Photography and Christian Fine Art Landscapes by Josiah Friberg

Though this is not really a Christian fine art landscape, it is an inspiring portrait of a child at play with art.

U.S.S. Constitution - Christian Landscape Inspirational Photography by Josiah Friberg

I thought this inspirational photography image of the U.S.S. Constitution, "Old Ironsides," would be appropriate for this 6th anniversary of the cowardly terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. I was fortunate to be cruising Boston Harbor on the day that this famous historical sailing ship was out stretching her legs. By Blue Ridge Photographic Society photographer, Josiah Friberg.
