“We’re Here!” -- coffee and tea lexicon.
And for topic 13 of 120, “Beverage” at 120 pictures in 2020.
Yes – I actually brought my coffee grinder with me all the way to Colorado.
Happy Sliders Sunday!

Happy New Year, folks
This year, I’ve coined a new phrase to add to the lexicon of already impenetrable photographic jargon which we all love to use- and that is the Photography Hardship Coefficient (PHC). As I’m not a mathematician, this is of course a purely qualitative assessment representing the physical pain to perceived reward ratio for any given image. For instance, whilst attempting some hi speed photography last year with our newly acquired TriggerTrap device, my very good friend and fellow Flickrite (DW) managed to shoot a hole through his garage door. And of course there was no image to show for it as neither of us had actually bothered to read the manual or set up the hardware properly. However, there was quite a lot of pain when his partner returned home. In this situation the PHC (which equals the amount of pain taken to get the image divided by how well you think the image came out) approached infinity as the denominator was zero (no image). This isn’t a great result. And neither was the other weekend, when a long hike in Snowdonia resulted in some distinctly poor images from me and a bad dose of man flu.
But at the other end of the spectrum, there’s this place in Lofoten, which couldn’t really be much easier to shoot. Ok, it took 3 flights to get there from the UK but it’s not like you have to do anything other than sip G&T in airport lounges for a day. And once you’re there, there’s even a handy bridge to shoot from just a few short steps from the car park. In fact, the only pain is trying to find a spot that’s not already occupied by a dozen other photographers. Oh, and remembering to bring a tall enough tripod to clear the rail. Costas. All of a sudden, the PHC looks much better, no matter how your image comes out.
And so, as I recover from my severe case of grippe d’homme by watching a 12 hour real time train journey across Uzbekistan on Netflix, I’m thinking that this year will be different. My aim is to reduce my photography hardship coefficient as much as possible- something that maybe our world leaders could also consider if they were to change the P to Political.
Wishing you all a very happy new year. While it still lasts
Christmas Lights 2021 at Maritime Museum in Church building and DLR LexIcon Library, Dunlaoghaire, Dublin, Ireland
dlr LexIcon Library and Cultural Centre lit up in Green in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, Ireland for St Patrick's Day
A crisp architectural study of the DLR Lexicon’s rooftop geometry — where brick, stone, and sculpted industrial forms rise together above the harbour town.
The conical vents feel almost like modern chimneys of a contemporary citadel, catching the early light and giving the building its unmistakable silhouette.
A quiet celebration of structure, craft, and the character of Dún Laoghaire’s shoreline architecture.
The roof of the Dun Laoghaire Lexicon is a deliberately muscular series of timber clad concrete beams separated by roof lights. Bit of fun with iPhone photo treated with Distressed FX app.

Two photos in Explore, one beside the other - that has never happened to me before. And there's another photo of the same place in the same Explore, how strange.
My home town of Dun Laoghaire, Dublin, Ireland.
The golden light of the sunrise reflected on Dun Laoghaire's seafront. On the bottom left of the image is the remains of Dun Laoghaire public baths where I swam every morning in the summer months when I was a kid. The church spires of the Mariners Church (now the Maritime Museum) and that of St Michael's Church, Dun Laoghaire's Roman Catholic Church are the central points of the image.
The main building to the right is Dun Laoghaire's new public library built a couple of years ago amidst much controversy, called The Lexicon

I'm sure a significant section of Bracknell's shopping population have been rejoicing at the opening of 'The Lexicon' today. This completes the independent cleansing of the towns traders, so now you can visit the town from afar just to be greeted with the same old shops.
When I visited the town on Monday there was still a huge hoarding covering up the 'eatery quarter' and the commercial artists have been hard at work trying to sell us the idyll.
So what is missing from this illustration?
Anybody over 35
Anybody who is overweight (because they have visited certain outlets in the eatery?)
Security Guards and other assorted Jobsworths
Screaming kids
Non-screaming kids
Anybody who shops in Poundland
Safety cones protecting the whole world from a chipped paving stone.
And certainly anyone who is even thinking about making a stand - demonstrations are not permitted!
Happy Spending!
