Surreal Earth

Surrealism: An avant-garde movement in art and literature that seeks to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind, for example by the irrational juxtaposition of images. Another definition might be "Beautiful imagery which makes no sense."

That's what we want you to create today. A beautiful visual image which makes no sense, yet makes perfect sense.

The rules are thus: Create a surreal portrait of something in the Great Outdoors. It could be a landscape, a city scene, a solitary building, a farm, a river, a mountain, a ship at sea, a herd of buffalo, fish swimming in the ocean (or in the sky!), or even a lighthouse. Make it weird, surreal and beautiful.

Please note that this is not a "cut-and-paste then add some wacky filters" free-for-all. We're looking for art here, and so are you!


Please, DO NOT post WIPs in your comments. Post them in the forums after the contest has ended.

Have fun, be creative!, keep it clean, follow the Arena Rules please, and be careful to avoid using cliches. You will have 48 hours to submit so make your entry count! As always, quality is a must. We'll remove poor images no matter how much we like you.
