I don't know if I'll ever get enough of the glorious colors of these photographs.
The photos collected below from the National Geographic Stock Photo archive are by Clifton Royal Adams. Adams was born in 1890 and was a National Geographic staff
photographer from 1920 until 1934, traveling throughout the United States, Central
America, and Europe. He died of a brain tumor in 1934 after becoming
ill while on assignment to photograph the California giant Sequoia forest. These are from his European travels; amazing photos from his US portfolio are coming soon.*

holy moly these pics are just fab! the colours are so beautiful but kinda surreal right? love that lady sitting in the flower field...would be awesome to have a bunch of these on your wall in a little cluster...or find a national geographic with them in!
ReplyDeleteThe colors really are amazing (little stained glass images) and I love the 3-D effect that some of them have...rather haunting. OOHH - I like the wall cluster idea; I might have to use that. :-)
