Autumn Waterfall - Fine Art Inspirational Nature & Landscape Photography by Josiah Friberg

This is another photograph taken at Stone Mountain State Park, located in Wilkes County, North Carolina, where my family and I visited a gorgeous waterfall named Widow's Creek Falls. I was so thankful that it was during the peak fall season because I ended up capturing such a beautiful autumn image with all of the fallen leaves. I hope that you are truly inspired by this peaceful scene. Some people prefer this vertical version of the previous photograph, so I have included it for everyone to enjoy. I'm not sure which one I like better, but I do know that both of them inspire me to slow down and enjoy the solitude of autumn.

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

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 Forest - Inspirational Photography and 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.

Mysterious Autumn Leaf Woman - Inspirational Photography by Josiah Friberg

Alive Autumn Hills - Christian Landscape Inspirational Photography

This landscape view of the autumn hills behind my land reminds me of a prophetic word I received when I first moved to Moravian Falls from California. A complete stranger came up to me during the worship service and said, "The hills are alive with the sound of music, and you are one of the notes!" Now, when I look at this Christian inspirational photography image, I think of those prophetic words that encouraged my soul. I realize that God has brought me here for a purpose, and that I have a note to sing in His glorious song. And the land that we bought will be a part of that song. Some day soon, when the timing is right and God gives us the green light, my wife and I plan to build our home on this land. We will have a 360 degree view of the surrounding mountains and hills, including this view and a view of Pores Knob and the Yadkin Valley. I hope this small piece of fine art inspires you and causes you to praise the God of all creation who painted this scene with the colors of His autumn season brush.
