Another night time drive.

It was a warm balmy night and I didn't feel like sleeping, so I decided to go for a drive instead. No real destination in mind but thought I'd head over to the York Peninsula and see if I could get a nice sunrise picture. That's something you can't get in Adelaide, there's a line of hills to the east that prevent you seeing the sunrise. Well before dawn I was all the way down the bottom of the peninsula in a little town called Edithburgh. It's a pretty little town and too far out of the way for most tourists so it was nice and peaceful. I spent a few hours just watching the stars and listening to gentle ocean waves. I got to see a few meteorites or bits of space junk burning up in the atmosphere too.

Every dawn is a new beginning.

I also like to see buildings lit up by dawn light.

I really liked the draught horse sculpture:

After that I started driving back towards home. I got to Adrossan just before the bakery opened. Pies are one of my favourite foods and fresh from the oven first thing in the morning is when they're at their absolute best. A standard Aussie meat pie is a decent meal for a full sized adult but once I walked in there the smells got to me, a plain beef pie, a pepper steak pie, and a kitchener bun.

The pies are absolutely delicious. No chemicals and additives here, you can taste the flour and the butter in the pastry and the meat is so fresh and tender. It's the first time I've been in this bakery in nearly 50 years but it's still as good as it always was.

Space junk moves at about the speed of satellites unless it is returning from another planet. Meteors are much faster.
 
Everything in space is basically falling around everything else. Usually, there's so much space and so little stuff that it only falls a little bit on the way by something else. If the relative speeds and distances are just right, they may get locked into an orbit. If the aim is really close to perfect, they collide. A meteor is Earth colliding with a rock, and the rock burning in the atmosphere from the heat of friction.
