Yes and they are nice a type of licorice.

Ouch!
I find Fisherman's Friends lozenges bitter and really unpalatable (though maybe their therapeutic effect is to take your mind of your other ailments!)

If I remember rightly, liquorice sold in the Netherlands has a much stronger taste than the sweeter stuff we get in the uk, so maybe that's the explanation. However I can't argue with the view below....

Here in the UK we spell it Liquorice - we get Swedish Liquorice here too - it can be VERY salty!

Greetings from The Hague.

Lovely one, Jacov!


The surprisingly good 5cm f/1.1 Nikkor-N (rangefinder) does IR on the PrimaLuce Z5 through the Hoya R72 filter. Heavy overcast weather thus the entire scenery is in a dull mood even in IR. However, the lens certainly delivers. Here a detail 100% crop of the frame.

Am enjoying this one of your typical style I have long been familiarized.

Love the color composition!

Lovely shot. I’d have liked to have caught the sunrise, but I was too distracted by the chance to do the laundry for the first time in a week!

Thank you.  I had fallen asleep in front of the computer and woke up to realize that the sun was about to rise.  I was just lucky.   ::)

You've successfully turned your morning chore into a nice photographic opportunity.

This morning, I found myself fallen asleep in front of the computer.   :o

But it is impossible to sleep until well after the the sunrise in the summer in Tokyo anyway: it is too hot and humid.   :o

Fascinating Snoogly.
My eyes were nonplussed with this and it took my brain a few moments to work out what I was looking at.
