The Painted Sky

The Painted Sky

If this photograph had been a painting, it would be considered a masterpiece. The photographer clearly has an eye for a dramatic shot, and in this one they've captured angry skies above the roads of Moscow, just as the sun is beginning to set.

The dramatic range of colors and the ragged pattern of the cloud suggests one of two things; either the city as just been visited by a storm, or there's one on the way. We think it would have been extremely windy when the photo was taken! With clouds of various shapes and sizes appearing both high and low in the sky the fading sunlight bounces everywhere, producing a truly breathtaking scene. The atmosphere the photo creates is almost intimidating; the sky looks wild and foreboding, as if it were a harbinger of a future apocalypse. In reality, though, it was probably just another we Tuesday in Russia's capital.

Did You Know...

Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.

So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.

Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
