We have decided to organize this contest to motivate people create more art. We would be happy if you would give it a try. You can think of anything you want, just make sure you still respect the theme. You can choose to illustrate dreams, nightmares or even both of them. Anything you want! Try not to be macabre if you are picturing nightmares. Respect the rules, have fun and most important, follow your heart!
This is the third part of my "Best Of The Best" features! These features consist of my absolute favorite photography that i've collected since i've been a member of DeviantArt.
This feature's focus is on VERTICAL photography, give them some love!
As I stumble around DeviantArt I notice a lot of great photography in the Sierra Nevada mountains and some of them doesn't get the attention they deserve. John Muir once called the Sierras the "Range of Light" due to the way light eminates from the granite domes and cliffs...especially at sunrise and sunset.
The Sierra Nevada Range is one of the most impressive mountain ranges in the world. It may not be the tallest or the longest but its beauty is unmatched. For more info on the Sierra Nevadas follow this link: [link])
Eastern Sierra Nevada: The Sierras gradually slant upwards from the west for 30-40 miles and then suddenly there is the Eastern Sierra Escarpment. Huge granite cliffs plunge in only a few miles to create this massive wall of mountains.
Alabama Hills & Mount Whitney: These hills are ancient eroded remains of foothills against the Eastern Sierras but all that is left are piles of smooth granite boulders. Mount Whitney stands behind them and it is the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States.
Bristlecone Pines: These trees are among the oldest living things on the planet. The oldest one has been dated to be almost 5,000 years old.
Mono Lake: Most nature photographers have at least heard of Mono Lake with its strange and alien landscape of tufa towers. It is an ancient salt lake with no outlet and the only thing that lives in its waters are brine shrimp and alkali flies.
Yosemite: This is the heart of the Sierras. Yosemite Valley can honestly rival the most beautiful places on earth. Just ask someone named Ansel Adams what he thought of the place...
Sequoia/Kings Canyon: This area of the Sierras lies on the western slope and is home to the most massive trees on earth, the Sequoias.
Into The Wilderness: The Sierras are full of untouched wilderness areas. There are a lot of highly accesible trails leading up into the High Sierras where you can really feel the beauty of the mountains all around you.
Indian Petroglyphs: Many indian tribes inhabited the areas around the Sierras. These petroglyphs come from the Volcanic Tablelands north of Bishop, Ca.
Bodie Ghost Town: The Sierras go hand in hand with cowboy stories and miners tales. There are many ghost towns in the Sierra Range but Bodie was the king. Once the mining slowed down the people left the town, so fast that the houses are still furnished.
The mountains even make a great backdrop for other types of photography. These photos make me think of mythological times and places. Nudes:

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
