Wiki - Meganebashi (眼鏡橋) or Spectacles Bridge, over the Nakashima River (中島川) was built in Nagasaki in 1634 by the Japanese monk Mokusu of Kofukuji Temple. It is said to be the oldest stone arch bridge in Japan and has been designated as an Important Cultural Property. It received the nickname "Spectacles Bridge" because its two arches and their reflection in the water create the image of a pair of spectacles. On July 23, 1982, a disastrous deluge washed away six of the ten stone bridges over the Nakashima River. Meganebashi was badly damaged but fortunately almost all the original stones were retrieved and the bridge was restored to its original appearance.

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

Don't borrow someone else's spectacles to view yourself with.

Thank you all for your amazing support, kind comments and faves, greatly appreciated!:-) Have a nice weekend my friends!
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.
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.
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.

North Window (51 feet high and 93 wide) is a popular place for people to stand inside. South Window (65 feet high and 105 wide) is a harder to access. While the colorful sandstone is always beautiful, sunset light makes it glow.

I had new glasses a few months ago, and it had taken months to find a frame I liked - even then, I was not totally happy. (Such vanity!!) Walking round town with a friend today, we found these, and I just wish that I had waited longer!
Simon and Garfunkle - I'm A Rock

A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock I am an island
I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
I am a rock I am an island
Don't talk of love
Well I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried
I am a rock I am an island
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock I am an island
And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries

Back to base after 40 days of non stop travel just for this cat !!!
It was a scorching Summer day when we embarked on a journey to explore the exotic high altitude cold desert. The idea of venturing into the Hanle, surrounded by vast stretches of golden green marshes , filled us with both excitement and trepidation and more exciting was the rarest cat being roaming around the valley from past few months . As we stepped out of car, a cold wave hit us like a wall. The intense sunrays beat down mercilessly, making me appreciate the importance of sunscreen, but when a cat as rare as gems is sitting in a beautiful setting who cares ?
As we began our scan through the desert, every step felt like an accomplishment. The handle mud from marshes beneath Ourfeet shifted with each stride, reminding me that nature is constantly changing and evolving. The silence was deafening as no one was there and best part No other photographers; there were no sounds except for the occasional rustle of wind against Ourears.
The desert seemed barren at first glance, but upon closer inspection, signs of life emerged. Tiny lizards scurried across the shining roads, birds feeding in plenty before harsh winters , leaving behind delicate footprints in their wake. Grass from marshes stood tall and proud amidst the harsh conditions, their vibrant flowers providing a burst of colour against the monotonous landscape.
As evening approached, we witnessed one of nature's most breathtaking spectacles – a sunset over the Halle Monastery. Shades of orange and pink painted the sky as if an artist had taken his brush to create this masterpiece. It was a moment that reminded me how insignificant we are in comparison to Mother Nature's grandeur.
Our visit to this exotic desert left an indelible mark on Our soul. It taught me humility and appreciation for our planet's diverse landscapes. It made us realise that sometimes stepping out of our comfort zones can lead us to discover hidden treasures we never knew existed.
In conclusion, exploring this exotic desert was not just an adventure in past 12 years ; it was an awakening Project , a dream to get this cat showcasing its interesting moustache , that’s so big , beautiful eyes , as till now we have seen pallas cat from far distance and hardly few people from India had capture those details in face , legs and overall body of pallas cat – a reminder that there is beauty even in desolation if we take time to observe and appreciate it fully.

I could not see this posting on my iPad where it looked much darker than on the monitor where I processed it. This is a tighter crop and brighter version. I don't believe the composition is as good but tablet users might be able to see it. Possibly my iPad needs recalibrating.
