2016-09-28 pure seduction

What a surprise. Last Sunday, we got these bitter-sweet "365 chocolates" on the side, when having an afternoon tea in the famous “Pelikan” coffee shop and chocolaterie in St. Gallen. I immediately hid them, already a photo in mind. I just have to share this sweet 68% chocolate surprise with my 365 friends,… if only as a picture. Wouldn’t it be great if we would get such a Swiss piece of chocolate made of cacoa from St. Domingo, Madagascar, Tansania und Ghana, every time we post a picture?

[Sheila Norris]

Mona, your food pictures are always incredibly appealing. You know just how to place the focus, pick the pov and provide the tones for maximum appeal. Enjoy the chocolates!

[Jane Armstrong]

I am in total agreement with Sheila. Amazing images.

[Graeme Stevens]

Outstanding

[Mona]

Thanks Sheila @sheilaj, thanks Jane @motherjane, as I like themm too. Somehow (I have no idea why) I walk easily through "food shots". I try not to use this convenience to often and only when I'm really short of time. I force myself to train on things that need more effort and diversify. But today is a busy day.
