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.

Historical Warship U.S.S. Constitution - Inspirational Photography and Christian Fine Art Landscapes by Josiah Friberg

"We the people of the United States, in order to ... secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity..." - The United States Constitution

This inspirational photography image of the U.S.S. Constitution sailing out of Boston Harbor inspires patriotism in me. This historical warship reminds me of the great struggle the American people had to throw off the yoke of tyranny under the British crown during the Revolutionary War. I hope that this Christian fine art landscape image of Boston Harbor and Old Ironsides stirs up patriotism in many others as they think about how God has preserved our nation for these past 200+ years.

Country Church in Autumn - Inspirational Photography and Christian Fine Art Landscapes by Josiah Friberg of Moravian Falls

"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting." - Psalm 118:29

It's not easy driving to work during the autumn in the mountains of North Carolina. Last year I couldn't drive straight to work without constantly pulling over to take photographs of the intense colorful scenery. This inspirational photography and Christian fine art landscape image captured my heart and eye as I drove by. I just love seeing simple white country churches that fit so perfectly into the autumn scenery. This photograph was taken north of Wilkesboro and about 5 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway by Blue Ridge Photographic Society photographer, Josiah Friberg, of Moravian Falls.

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

"A child educated only at school is an undereducated child." - George Santayana

This inspirational photography image of a child playing with colored chalk speaks to me of the values of creativity and imagination. Although this is not necessarily a Christian fine art landscape, it is an inspirational portrait that encourages everyone to let the child deep within them play artistically for a while. This photograph was taken by Josiah Friberg of Moravian Falls, North Carolina.

Moravian Falls Storm Clouds - Christian Fine Art Landscape Inspirational Photography by Josiah Friberg

"I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; from whence shall my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth." - Psalm 121:1-2

This is probably my favorite Christian fine art landscape image in my collection. I took this inspirational photography landscape on my way home from work after a big storm had just let up. I was so fortunate that the sun broke through the clouds just as I ran out into the field to capture this image. The sunlight reflecting off the meadow is really the key to this photograph. I also love the way the clouds were just hanging over the mountains of Moravian Falls in the background. May you be inspired by the awesome beauty of God's creation through meditating on this photograph by Josiah Friberg of the Blue Ridge Photographic Society.
