The bridge at Swinford, Oxfordshire (revisited). A very calm day on the River Thames produced this reflection that resembled a pair of spectacles.
A calm day on the River Thames at Swinford Bridge (Oxon), allowing the impression of a pair of spectacles.
Lake Tyrrell is a shallow, salt-crusted depression in the Mallee. The 120,000 year old lake is regarded as one of the best places in Australia for star navigation, with the dark and endless skies providing the perfect environment to view the dazzling spectacles of the southern hemispheres constellations.

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

Mcguire Sisters - Picnic

On a picnic morning, without a warning
I looked at you and somehow I knew
On a day for singing
My heart went winging
A picnic grove was our rendezvous
You and I, in the sunshine
We strolled the fields and farms
At the last light of evening
I held you in my arms
Now, when days grow stormy
And lonely for me
I just recall, picnic time with you
Now, when days grow stormy
And lonely for me
I just recall, picnic time with you
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!
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.
