Description
A Daily Deviation! I am so overjoyed right now!! <3To keep up with my 365 project, which this image is from, please follow me here: Facebook
βMany things--such as loving, going to sleep, or behaving unaffectedly--are done worst when we try hardest to do them.β - C.S. Lewis
[This was inspired by quite a few things, one of which is my inability to get proper sleep lately. Expect to see more of me sleeping in odd locations for photos...]

Yes, you made perfect sense! I was definitely trying to depict that the world around me was submerging into a dreamlike state, reminiscent of me sleeping there.

I'm having a few sleeping problems myself lately, and I was instantly drawn to this when I saw it on the DD page. Great picture! Nice quote to go along with it, too.

I'm glad you found an image that spoke to you! It seems like there's quite a few of us with sleep problems. I'm glad you enjoyed the pic and the quote I paired it with!

I love this. The colours are so many and so gorgeous, almost like a dream in comparison to the relatively normal-looking girl. I myself have had sleeping problems lately and this really stands out to me!

I wanted it to appear as though the world around me was reflecting the dreamlike state that I was in. Also, this'll be the first in a series of me sleeping in unique places, as my sleep struggles continue on. Sleep deprivation is awful, bleh!

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! I definitely thought this one through, both prior to shooting it and during the editing process.

You look like a fairy tale princess at first glance in this picture.
It's so lovely, and almost surreal.

Awwww! That's one of the sweetest things I've heard in a long time! Thank you so much! Surreal is what I was going for with this piece.

I love this...it's like a dream!
A well-deserved DD! May you soon be able to sleep well...and in safer places!

Gah, thank you!!
We'll see if the sleep starts getting better--it's been pretty off and on for the past six months, but I think it has a lot to do with my very determined pursuing of photography and all of the work that comes with that. Thank you again for the kind words and support!

My pleasure!
...have you tried valerian? It's a natural herb, non-narcotic and trusted for centuries!

Ah, the root? I haven't tried it, but I've certainly heard of it! I will definitely look into it; thank you for the advice!

Wow, thank you so much! That's really sweet of you! Yes, I was going for a very surreal feeling. I wanted it to appear as though the world around me was morphing to match my dreaming state. I'm glad you like it!

I can't think of the best words to describe how fantastic this looks...
Looking at all the plant life there, it looks like a disused train track. Am I right in guessing that it is?
Either way, it does take some courage to just lay there like that. Well done.

SmokyPixel In reply to Miku-Nyan02 [2012-07-11 01:38:03 +0000 UTC]
You are absolutely right! There's a ton of growth on and all around the tracks, and even various flowering plants. It's an amazing stretch for walking, and I used to frequent it often. Thank you for the kind words!

It's a shame I can't go and see it for myself. You are very lucky.
