Monticello in Autumn - Landscape Photography by Josiah Friberg

Monticello is one of my favorite places in America because of both the neoclassical architecture and because of the picturesque setting upon a gorgeous mountain. It is a National Historic Landmark just outside Charlottesville, Virginia, United States. It was the estate of Thomas Jefferson, the principal author of the United States Declaration of Independence, third President of the United States, and founder of the University of Virginia; it is also, at his direction, the site of Jefferson's burial place. I just love the surrounding trees, orchards, flower gardens, lawn and walkways, and the extensive vegetable garden. Of course, it is the person of Thomas Jefferson that I admire as one of the greatest Founding Fathers of our nation. I highly respect his views on liberty, self-government, God-given rights, and binding down the three branches of the federal government with the chains of the U.S. Constitution.

Smokey Mountains Landscape Photography by Josiah Christian Friberg

"May the glory of the Lord endure forever; He who touches the mountains and they smoke." - Psalm 104:32

Dear friends, this was one of my better photographs that I took back in 2007. I wanted to share it with you today to show you the beauty and awesome wonder of the smokey fog of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

I now have a new education blog that I would like to share with you. Please visit this new blog entitled: Preparing Parents to Fulfill Their Primary Purpose: Educating Children for God.

I've been driving past this look out point for over a year waiting for just the right lighting and shadows and smokey fog. I knew that if I were patient, the day would come that I would be able to capture the layered smokey fog of the Blue Ridge Mountains. I took this from the Blue Ridge Parkway looking east into the morning sun towards Wilkes County and the Brushy Mountains.
