The Upside to Abusing Cacao

Last night about 9pm I had a fruit salad. It was tasty. What wasn't so clever was putting raw chocolate sauce on it (cacao powder, coconut oil, raw honey).

I went to sleep around 1–1:30ish. At 3:30 I woke up, wide awake, and could NOT get back to sleep.

Ok, so cacao late at night = bad idea. I'll remember that. I've now been awake for 20 odd hours, and it doesn't show signs of abating.

One upside though, I got to watch the sunrise. Because of the incredible weather patterns over Melbourne — a combination of sea air, interesting landmass curvature, mountains and many thousand miles of desert air, all combining in one place — I got to see all this in the space of about an hour (click each pic for a bigger version):

And oddly, after all that, it was actually quite a cloudy day. You can see this starting in the last shot. Amazing.

I never get tired of watching nature at play.

    mmmm.. chocolate heaven!

    Funny how staying up all night eventually turns everything upside down. The stars seem to be on the ground instead of in the sky. ;)

    no no, that's called "falling over" — totally different! (although yes, sometimes one does lead to the other.. :) )

    It's pretty much the greatest art installation in the world — one show only, changes every minute.
