The bridge at Swinford, Oxfordshire (revisited). A very calm day on the River Thames produced this reflection that resembled a pair of spectacles.
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!
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.
This birthday card was sent to me by my son--in-law's parents. I thought it was highly amusing!

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.

Ostara project toured with some of the best jazz artist in Canada. These are all leaders, composers, songwriters and Montreal was last stop on this year tour. Some live on the West Coast and some live in the East, so getting together was a challenge. Here Toronto's Alison Au reacts to the amazing vocalisation of Shruti. There are more musicians involved, but in Montreal these women were on stage:
Jodi Proznick – Bass
Amanda Tosoff – piano, keyboard

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.
