How to Find Great Landscape Photos Online
People love to share their great photographs on the internet. That means there are literally millions of photographs out there, many of which you can use for free. Here is how you can find great landscape photos to use on a blog, desktop, or many other places.
Instructions
1
Since there are lots of very good photographers out there, there are lots of great landscape photos also. People love to take great pictures of beautiful nature scenes. Many people post their wonderful landscape photos on sites such as Flickr, which is owned by Yahoo!
2
Flickr is a great place to find beautiful landscape photos. People upload them on Flickr so that they can easily share photos with friends, and it saves them having to use space on a personal hard drive. Saving photos on Flickr allows others to comment on your photography or use them to illustrate personal pages or blogs.
3
One thing you must check before copying and reusing any photos from Flickr is what permissions the author has granted. Flickr uses a licensing hierarchy called Creative Commons. Under Creative Commons, the owner of a work may retain all rights, or may share rights under certain conditions. The first category is that you must link back to the owner of the photograph. That is called Attribution. Other categories are “No Commercial Use”, “No Derivatives”, meaning the work can’t be altered and republished, and “Share alike”. That means the author allows derivatives, but they must be shared just as the original is. You can get more information on how this works here.
4
These categories don’t limit you to just a handful of landscape photos. Under the Attribution link, there are currently 27 million photos available. Click “See More” and enter a search term such as Landscape in the search box. That will return pages of images that you can search through for your project. If you want to make your search easier, select Relevant, Recent, or Most Interesting which are hyperlinks above the photos. These sub-categories can save you time and give you better results.
5
Remember the Creative Commons rules when you insert a landscape photo onto your site. Link the photo back to the author (use the URL for the photo on Creative Commons). It is also a good idea to add a comment under the photo on Flickr telling the author where you used the photo. If you really like the photo, Favorite it.
I hope this helps you find some great landscape photos to enhance your work.
Tips & Warnings
Don’t forget to upload your photos on Flickr also, The more photos, the richer a resource it becomes for all of us.

Jerry Lebiedzinski, the president of Stone Selex ? a premier supplier of artificial and natural stone veneers, announced the introduction of vent free interior stone fireplaces to their product line portfolio. This revolutionary concept in stone fireplace design uses ethanol biofuel, a premium high quality and wholly renewable pure plant derivative made from only the purest ethyl alcohol, to maximize energy efficiency by supplying heat straight into the room rather than being lost through the chimney. Their unique design and high-quality finish combine the beauty and warmth of a real fire in any setting whether indoors and outdoors. In contrast to conventional wood-burning stone fireplaces, biofuel fireplaces need no fixed installation, are fully mobile, and do not need to be cleaned (ex. ashes) once the fire has burnt out. This versatility provides unparalleled design flexibility for your home and spreads a moderate and pleasant warmth right from the start.
8 Reasons to Build Your Stone Fireplace with Artificial and Natural Stone Veneers
A stone fireplace is often the centerpiece of a home, where friends and family gather to relax and converse. It seems to epitomize comfort and luxury, warmth and charm. Yet, for many homes a natural stone fireplace is not a practical option. The high cost of the stones, the weight of the mantel-piece, the surround, and the hearth usually means building a firebox and chimney in an outside wall above a solid foundation, or, for an interior design, seriously reinforcing the floor.
Fortunately, there is another alternative. Artificial stone from a quality supplier provides many advantages of natural stone for your cast stone fireplace without any of the drawbacks.
Artificial Stone Veneers perfectly match the appearance of natural stone.
Whether it’s the rough-hewn look of fieldstone or the gentle contours of streamstone, quality manufactured stone, often referred to as cast stone or faux stone, so perfectly emulates the look and feel of natural stone it can fool even experienced masons. This remarkable achievement comes from using a formulation of Portland cement, natural aggregates, and carefully selected pigments in meticulously detailed molds modeled after natural stone. The result is a prefab stone fireplace virtually indistinguishable from the original.
Artificial stone is light weight.
Manufactured stone typically weighs much less than natural stone, about two-thirds the weight of natural stone veneer and less than a quarter the weight of full-block natural stone. This provides significant savings in shipping and labor costs, as well as reducing the need for costly structural reinforcing.
Artificial stone is easy to install. Thanks to Stone Veneer?s light weight and convenient sizes and shapes, a little planning and attention to detail allows even weekend handymen to successfully install artificial stone fireplaces. All that’s required is following the vendor’s simple instructions and observing basic precautions. Other than perhaps a circular saw with a masonry blade for cutting stones to size, there’s no need for many of the heavy-duty power tools often required when working with natural stone. Standard hand masonry tools will do.
Artificial stone can be installed on virtually any wall.
Since its light weight eliminates the need for special footings and foundations and since it can be applied to any structurally sound wall surface, artificial stone veneer is a perfect building material for cast stone fireplaces. It simplifies the construction of new stone fireplaces designs as well as remodeling of older, plain brick units.
Artificial stone is durable and maintenance-free.
Reputable manufacturers of artificial stone provide a 50 year warranty on their product, but that’s not the limit of the stone’s life-expectancy. Properly applied, quality manufactured stone can be expected to last much longer, even on external walls subject to the elements. Inside a home, on a prefab stone fireplace for example, manufactured stone veneer should provide service for many generations. Artificial stone is safe for interior stone fireplaces. Obviously, when constructing a wood or gas-burning stone fireplace, flammability of the building materials is a concern. By its very nature, manufactured stone is non-combustible. It contributes zero fuel and produces no smoke.
Artificial stone offers wide variety.
Available in dozens of different styles, textures, and colors, artificial stone veneer can emulate any natural stone. This gives you broad flexibility in designing a cast stone fireplace that perfectly complements your home and lifestyle, whether traditional or contemporary.
Artificial stone is less expensive than natural stone.
Using prefab stone veneer saves you money in three ways. First, the Stone Veneer itself costs less than natural stone. Second, because artificial stone veneer weighs so much less than natural stone, the cost to ship the stone to your job site, which can be prohibitive with natural stone, is much less. Third, labor costs are usually lower, since cast stone is lighter and easier to work with. Masons can install the product faster, saving both time and money.

I was curious as to how to plant and care for a lawn. Not sure why that thought crossed my mind, but I got brave and looked it up on ehow and a few other sites. I had no idea people go through that much trouble for grass. We have had a lawn for almost 40 years now and we never did any of that.
Ok: lesson 1: tilling the soil. I don’t think so. Lesson 2: leveling the ground; not sure why that has to be done either; but lesson three is to plant the seed. I have done that. Then the suggestion for lesson 4 is to get a 3 x 3 sheet of plywood with nails and drag it over the planted seeds and the soil to “gently” mix them together. I don’t know anyone in their right mind who would do such a thing, especially if your lawn was large; that is a recipe for heat stroke if I ever heard one. Now I will tell you how we did it.
When we moved to our place – and I mean moved, nothing was built. We moved a house in, a garage, a chicken coop and plopped ourselves at the highest point in the middle of a field. We had field grass and weeds that were at least two feet tall and I thought a lawn would be good. At the time, we had a gas push mower and; lesson 1: if you tip the mower at a 45 degree angle and go fairly slow, you will chop the field grass down to a mow-able level. Then lesson 2: the next time around you can mow with the mower flat. Tahh dahh, LAWN! Each time I mowed, I would go an extra foot or two out into the field and now we have a two-acre lawn, which looks rather nice from a distance.
We had a hilly slope on one side of the house; I thought it would look good with purple flowers spaced nicely and it would give the lawn contrast. I bought some kind of purple creeper and planted it. Of course the kids mowed over it, but the little devils were hardy and the rooting system spread so I still get the occasional purple patch on the lawn.
Weeds: I know there are various forms of weed killer out there that can be used to keep the lawn lush. Since most of our lawn is field grass and not what the “lawn people” would call “lawn;” we would be left with a bunch of dirt. By not using these products we save a lot of money that would be otherwise wasted on expensive weed killer. Not only that, but we harvest our dandelions; yes we do! Dandelion greens are excellent in salads and the flower makes a great wine. I would be horrified if someone killed my dandelions; some people are so strange.
We also have moss; now I know you lawn gurus do not like moss and will get out the stuff to kill it spending many hours working your tail off. Why? Moss, in case you haven’t noticed spreads nicely and does not need to be mowed (or even watered). This saves lawnmower gas, water, and the ecosystem; it comes in varying shades of green for a very colorful yard.
Ok, so I actually didn’t plant any grass seed; but I bought five pounds of it 38 years ago just in case we needed it.
