Photos are all found via Flickr (follow image links for author info). Color schemes are available to download through COLOURlovers.

Good to highlight the design inspiration that you can get from non-traditional areas. Colors and shapes in natural landscape can give you loads of material for design, and I love how you’ve focused on a very specific topic. Just “natural landscape” is too all encompassing, but “Cliffs and Islands” is a great focus.
…though the joke was lame!
As a thought for a future color inspiration – “Sporting victor and defeat”. I find sports photography often has great contrasts of color and light, and there’s some excellent, vibrant imagery in the agony of wins and losses, whether on a professional level or at the local amateur event.

Love the post! I saw another one about using nature to pick color schemes but I forgot who’s blog it was on. Definitely going to use this technique on my new clients site.
