Inspirations: Landscape Photography
Houzz Contributor. Hi There! I currently live in a 1920s cottage in Atlanta that I'll describe as "collected."
I got into design via Landscape Architecture, which I studied at the University of Virginia. I've been writing about design online for quite a few years over at Hatch: The Design Public Blog.

Often times on houzz I am looking for images that fit an ideabook about an interior detail, a way that makes things easier to live, or new design. Sometimes I forget to stop and ogle the roses. So many of the houzz members have posted their own beautiful photographs, or professional photographs of their own work.
When I was looking for cottage gardens a few weeks ago, I started to look for photographs that made my heart race a little. Photographing landscapes is difficult; sometimes nature does not want to help with lighting situations, and time of day is always a huge factor in the results. Here is a collection of some breathtaking shots that focus on the landscape to perk up your day.

| This is such a great composition, with the allium globes dazzling us in the foreground. |

Spiky cacti and a cloudless blue sky frame the building.
Rectilinear deck and boxes, undulating wild plants, rectilinear agricultural fields.

Love the composition and the bright white compliments of the sun!
| I love the composition of this one as well - having students place trace paper over it and block out the main elements would be a great lesson in composition. |
This is simply scrumptious.
A good lesson in night lighting and reflection.

| What a sky! Note the way the shot is framed between those cypress (cedar?) trees. |

Simply lovely - note how the shrubs on the bottom ground the photo and give you perspective.
