a beautiful dreamy way to start a day. after watching the spaniards play incredible tennis at the australian open until 1:30 a.m., i rattled myself out of a deep sleep to go with friends to see the 4th and final performance of the sydney philharmonia chorus at bondi beach starting just before sunrise. that is right, i went to bed at 1:30 and woke at 4 to arrive at a beach at 5:30 a.m.
and it was so worth it.
it began with a surreal soft strum that bounced off the waves. it crescendoed with a rousing nigerian song called "o-re-mi".
the visual background morphed from darkness with a clear view of the australian southern cross constellation to soft blues to stunning pinks as the ball of fire muscled its way above the cliffs.
here's cheers to good friends for providing the motivation to partake in this experience.
