The bridge at Swinford, Oxfordshire (revisited). A very calm day on the River Thames produced this reflection that resembled a pair of spectacles.

Attractive, colorful vireo with thick white spectacles. Note dark blue-gray head, yellowish sides, and bold white wingbars. Breeds in forested areas, typically mixed coniferous and deciduous. Migrants can be found in any wooded area, often in flocks with other small songbirds. Winters from the southeastern U.S. to Central America. Blue-headed is the brightest of the "Solitary Vireo" complex, and usually identifiable by range alone. Compare especially with Cassin's Vireo on the wintering grounds, but note Blue-headed is more colorful and contrasty. Especially look for contrast between the dark gray face and white throat. Some birds are best left unidentified. Song is sweeter and slower than other vireos in breeding range. (eBird)

I just couldn't resist this view of the Blue-headed Vireo. His white eyerings look like a superhero (supervillain ?)'s mask. He is proudly showing off the bug that he has caught.
Presqu'ile Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada. September 2025.
Eastern Ontario Birding.
The golden one is about 1 cm long, the others are shorter! How anyone is expected to get them in the hole and then screw them beats me!
The North and South Windows in the windows section in Arches National Park are called the Spectacles when viewed together. The North Window is easy to access so it is a popular place to visit for sunset.
Thank you all for your amazing support, kind comments and faves, greatly appreciated!:-) Have a nice weekend my friends!
Don't borrow someone else's spectacles to view yourself with.

Inauguré en 1998, l'Hemisfèric fut le premier bâtiment de la Cité des Arts et des Sciences à ouvrir ses portes au public. C'est un bâtiment spectaculaire conçu par Santiago Calatrava, qui a une couverture ovoïde de plus de 100 mètres de longueur, qui abrite à l'intérieur de la grande sphère qui est la salle de projection.
C'est la plus grande salle en Espagne qui abrite trois systèmes de projection sur un écran concave de 900 mètres carrés:
- Cinéma grand format, Dôme IMAX.
- Cinéma numérique 3D. Mesures de l'écran 3D, rectangle d'environ 16x8 mètres.
- Projections numériques. Représentations astronomiques et spectacles de divertissement.
L'Hemisfèric est un bâtiment unique et spectaculaire, conçu par Santiago Calatrava, qui représente un grand œil humain, l'œil de la sagesse. Cet élément symbolise le regard et l'observation du monde que les visiteurs découvrent à travers des projections audiovisuelles surprenantes.

Where one can discover the illuminated splendor of Lahore Fort and Huzoori Bagh with the History by Night tour by the Walled City of Lahore Authority. Where history dances under the stars.
An enchanting and mesmerizing tour to Mughal era, like traveling in a time machine to the court of Emperor Akbar where a captivating saga of grandeur and magnificence unfolded. Renowned for their refined tastes and opulent lifestyles, the Mughal emperors orchestrated nightly spectacles that went far beyond the ordinary, embracing the extraordinary with unparalleled finesse. For the Mughals, the shroud of darkness wasn’t merely an absence of light; it served as a canvas upon which they painted a vibrant tapestry of extravagant entertainment, a testament to their sophisticated sensibilities and profound love for the arts. Immersed in a rich fusion of art, music, dance, and culinary brilliance, these imperial evenings not only dispelled the shadows but also left an enduring imprint on the pages of history.
Took this shot while visiting Amberg, Bavaria, Germany. Taken with the iPhone 8 Plus on a misty morning, (you might be able to just make out the vague outline of a church tower above the bridge in the middle of the picture) edited in photoshop on Mac to remove 5 people, then tickled in Snapseed on iPad Pro.
The Stadtbrille, or "town spectacles," is a water gate construction spanning the Vils river, which once served to protect the town and to connect the new castle to the armory. the gateway was built in 1534. Two of the semi-circular arches cast reflections on the river to form an illusion of a pair of spectacles.
Amberg has a lot to offer: many churches (finely restored), town walls and towers etc., a few museums, sculpture path with modern pieces, the town hall, the smallest hotel Europe (only big enough for a couple), etc. A great place to sit and relax in the square, have a drink and watch the World go by......
It also has free parking for about 15 camper vans just outside the town walls (you have to pay into a machine if you want electric hook up), so this has become one of our regular stop offs when we travel to and from Czechia. it’s all so civilised. I so wish the UK had taken more inspiration from the EU during the last 40 years.

Il est des spectacles réservés aux seul yeux de ceux qui regardent avec le cœur...
There are spectacles reserved for the only eyes of those who look with the heart...
My well worn glasses. Traces of glue can be seen on the edge of the lens on the left. At one point the glass fell out when I lifted the glasses from the table.
For the photo, I placed the glasses on a mirror and used a small ring light from the left.
After picking up some new spectacles (20 mile detour) I headed for a rainy Wensleydale and Swaledale
The bottom metal wire rim frame that holds the lens in the eyeglasses. The length of rim is 7/16 inch long, or 11mm long.

Stay with me awhile
Rise above the vile
Name my final rest
Poured into my chest
Into the orchard I walk, peering way past the gate
Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait
Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead
Halo of death, all I see is departure
Mourner's lament, but it's me who's the martyr
Pledge yourself to me
Never leave me be
Sweat breaks on my brow
Given time ends now
Into the orchard I walk, peering way past the gate
Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait
Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead
Halo of death, all I see is departure
Mourner's lament, but it's me who's the martyr
Spirit painted sin
Embers neath my skin
Veiled in pale embrace
Reached and touched my face
Into the orchard I walk, peering way past the gate
Wilted scenes for us who couldn't wait
Drained by the coldest caress, stalking shadows ahead
(Release your grip, let me go, into the night)
Halo of death, all I see is departure
Mourner's lament, but it's me who's the martyr
One of the great spectacles in the Highlands is Slioch towering over Loch Maree. I was on a small hill above Victoria Falls for this one, but even viewed from the A832 in the few miles south of Talladale, the intimidating, fortress-like impression hardly diminishes.
This was another case of being rewarded for a long wait, Slioch finally clearing of low cloud in the couple of hours before sunset.
With a gaze that could shatter a stone,
And a shadow across his face thrown,
He paused at the brink,
Took a moment to think,
And the world that we knew was overthrown.
Hemyock, Devon, UK.
