One of the characteristics of a good artist is to be able to see beyond the mundane and to express in out-of-the-box ways.

In this contest you are to create a faux landscape with any type of weather conditions as long as it's all done by you and not at all natural. You may create your landscape out of anything including food, clothing, utensils etc., or simply with lighting. You may have any weather conditions. It may be snowing, raining, sunset, fog... heck it can even be nighttime. For this contest landscape encloses all of the following: landscape, seascape, cloudscape, cityscape, urbanscape. No mindscapes for this one though... instead use your mind to come up with a fabulous idea. Your entry can be very detailed or it can be abstract... it is all up to you.

<b>Hit list:</b> No paintings or drawings of landscapes. Let's be creative!

<b>Important</b> The photograph submitted must be taken expressly for this contest, during the week the submission is open, no shoeboxing during the team tournament will be allowed.

Again, in this round, I've decided to help things be more fun also by allowing fun borders in this one.. so, be creative, put borders that you think will be appropriate to the subject of your photograph and most importantly , have fun! :-)
