Self-reliance is alive and well through many parts of this country and dead in many other areas. It is/was one of the characteristics that helped build this great nation and helped sparked innovation, competition, and creativity. People seem to be forgetting the pioneer spirit to overcome hardships by hard work and self-responsibility and rely on themselves to achieve their goals and not wait on handouts or ruling bodies to provide everything from the cradle to the grave.
The windmill in this picture reminds me of the pioneer spirit, that brought us the creation and innovation to harness our surroundings to increase the quality of life through hard work, self-responsibility, and self-reliance.
Wow, very nice composition! The classic windmill accompanied by those beautiful rays... a common country scene, but rarely captured to this degree of accuracy. Love the natural colors
I love the composition and the title. I come from a farming family, and we would not be here had my ancestors not displayed tremendous self reliance. We're going to need more of that if the economic climate continues to turn down. I hope that you will take the time to visit my gallery and check out some of my landscapes and skyscapes. I update it quite often. Thanks for sharing!

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.
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!
