By amazing luck, just before submitting this I realised that there was another Exotika competition and there had to be an Ice-theme this time. I was about to submit it as an ordinary landscape but thought it would be fun to enter anyway.

Either way I was going to mention that This can be seen in a variety of ways, It could be fantasy, It could be science fiction-maybe a freak climate change is involved. It may be considered surreal, almost dreamlike-You wouldn't see snow covered coconut trees in real life. It could also have an element of humour, like something You would see on an article about global climate change. And just to add more confusion, some might see tropical plants growing on a frozen ice cap and others may see the tropics of the equator being dumped under snow.
I also wanted to do something different by making a cold world but using warm colours, rather than the traditional blues and whites.

I don't know what to think of this, there are many ways to think of it! Though in my opinion, there would have to be more snow in order for it to seem like there are tropical plants growing on a frozen ice cap...
Creating a cold world with warm colours, huh? I don't think you could have done it any better.

That is true. But I imagined the snow was partially melted :XD:

Make a cold world with warm colors? You succeeded. Tropicana in the freezer.

I would like to try such a situation again one day. This might be up for a remake someday too I guess :plotting:

There was a movie, oh what was the name of it, they deciphered from a satelite dish aimed in space, code to build a craft. The girl got to be the one to go in this sphere. It was to contain nothing but earth people of course didn't listen and added things like a chair and also a camera. Well she took off, saw the universe right through this sphere and ended up on a world where someone who appeared to her like her dead father talked to her. He told her someday in the future when mankind was ready they could meet. This is almost what it looked like there. Surreal, beautiful and wonderous. In the end, on earth, they said it went nowhere. Just fell to the ground. But they couldn't explain the several hours of film that was static on the camera. It was out there, it happened, but nobody could prove it, but she knew.

I know what you're talking about and everytime I never saw the whole thing so it has never entirely made sense to me :lol:

It's called Contact ;)

Remember, our version of time is not relevant. We measure time in a different way than the universe. 10 billion years on earth is probably a second in space. Travelling at the speed of light at one time was considered impossible by our so-called expert scientists. They said we would burn up into light itself. But not true. Because the craft is travelling at that speed, you are part of it, but not light, an object. They debunked the burn up theory and now believe it's possible. So what happened in that few seconds when that sphere went to the ground was many hours to her.

Sometimes scientists can be too smart for their own good. Steven Hawkings got a licking on his black hole theory. Yes light does escape from a black hole. It's because it's too much going inside which causes a kind of explosion of light particles back out. He had to pay his fellow scientist a debt, a bottle of wine.
