I really love those old, classic churches. It might be a tiny one in a village, or it might be a gigantic one that took many, many years to be completed. No matter what kind it is, I just know that some of these are so beautiful that they deserve to be appreciated by everyone.

So I went looking for some great pictures of beautiful churches… both in and outside, and got to see amazing shots of these beauties. Here’s my selection… I hope you all enjoy these. To check out the location of each, simply click at the picture to go the author’s flickrstream. Don’t forget to check their portfolio, also. Cheers!

Yesterday I was browsing Deviantart for some inspiration, when I spotted a photo of Nariscuss. It was the most colorful picture on the screen, it was really eye-catching.

Water landscapes are really good subjects for Photography, all the nature surrounding, the colors and light effects created by the water reflections, everything makes some photos look simply amazing.

Last week we received a suggestion from one of our readers about Leonard Gren’s beautiful fashion photography. And beautiful it is! I was going through his site last night and found other great non-fashion related photos that definitely deserved a mention as well!

I think what I love the most about Leonard’s work is that it’s so clean, as in, not overally processed with textures and what have you. All I’ve been seeing lately is incredibly overdone photos so this is a nice break from all of that. Anyway, don’t forget to check out his portfolio and let me know what you think via twitter or facebook!

But, although we consider Alaska a cold, lifeless area, we are very far from the truth. Alaska offers natural wonders that blend the end of their temperatures with a rich and diverse flora and fauna. This collection of 23 wonders of nature in Alaska show a lively area in each season. From the frozen rock solid to the delicate plains of this near Arctic land.

I really LOVE macro… and browsing around Flickr I found the work from Sakura, a girl from Tokyo that has a natural talent to capture beautiful things. Her images are reallly delicate, colorful, inspiring and gorgest. As the images speak for themselves, I have not much to say. And I’m sure you will also like her work…

I am a Japanese girl who live in Tokyo. Love to take photos of natures, just like small wild flowers and small creatures, around me. You can find me on flickr.

Enjoy the images and make sure to visit Sakura’s flickr page to check out further amazing photos!

Enjoy…
