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.
Kamasi's Washington father Rickey was a successful jazz musician and he gave up his career to teach his sons the trade. He could have headed East, like other LA better-known players (Charles Mingus, Eric Dolphy, Dexter Gordon), but he had 3 sons to take care of.

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.
This brightly-coloured vireo is easily recognized by its blue-gray head and bright white 'spectacles'. For approximately four decades, the Blue-headed Vireo was considered a subspecies in the Solitary Vireo complex, but has since been restored to full species status
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.
À l’abandon depuis plus de 30 ans, le site de l’ancien hôpital de Bavière, à Liège, abritera à l’automne 2022 un pôle culturel provincial sur 5 niveaux sur une surface de 15.000 m². Le Pôle des Savoirs, dédié à la culture, au numérique et aux arts, accueillera notamment l’ancienne bibliothèque Les Chiroux, une pépinière d’entreprises, des espaces de convivialité pour accueillir des spectacles et événements, des lieux de restauration …
Réalisé par la Province de Liège avec le soutien de l’Europe et de la Wallonie, le Pôle des Savoirs constitue le premier élément, emblématique, d’un vaste projet public et privé de réhabilitation du quartier et de l’une des entrées de la ville. Le projet est en partie subsidié par des fonds FEDER.
Le bâtiment de 5 étages est revêtu d’une audacieuse « double peau » consistant en une façade supportée par un porte-à-faux variant de 1 à 3 mètres sur les étages supérieurs. La surface « verticale » de cette façade est d’environ 3100 m².
Le revêtement de la double peau est constitué d’un panaché de panneaux en zinc et en verre.
Ces panneaux sont supportés par une résille de profilés secondaires s’appuyant sur la structure primaire de lisses de d’arêtes définissant les différentes faces de la façade, elle-même supportée par des fermes verticales ancrées dans le bâtiment environ tous les 7,5 mètres aux différents niveaux de plancher.
Les fermes sont reliées par des coursives qui, en plus d’offrir une circulation technique pour l’entretien des façades, permet de contreventer l’ensemble de la structure notamment sous effet sismique.
Certaines zones de cette structure supportent, de surcroît, des terrasses accessibles au public entre la façade du bâtiment et la double peau.
Abandoned for more than 30 years, the site of the former Bavarian hospital, in Liège, will house a provincial cultural center on 5 levels in the fall of 2022 over an area of 15,000 m². The Pôle des Savoirs, dedicated to culture, digital technology and the arts, will notably house the former Les Chiroux library, a business incubator, convivial spaces to host shows and events, places to eat, etc.
Carried out by the Province of Liège with the support of Europe and Wallonia, the Pôle des Savoirs is the first emblematic element of a vast public and private project to rehabilitate the district and one of the entrances to the city. The project is partly subsidized by ERDF funds.
The 5-storey building is covered with a bold “double skin” consisting of a facade supported by a cantilever varying from 1 to 3 meters on the upper floors. The “vertical” surface of this facade is approximately 3100 m².
The coating of the double skin consists of a mix of zinc and glass panels.
These panels are supported by a mesh of secondary sections resting on the primary structure of stringers and edges defining the different faces of the facade, itself supported by vertical trusses anchored in the building approximately every 7.5 meters at different floor levels.
The trusses are connected by passageways which, in addition to providing technical circulation for the maintenance of the facades, make it possible to brace the entire structure, particularly under seismic effects.
Certain areas of this structure also support terraces accessible to the public between the facade of the building and the double skin.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. I am noticing a come-back of the horn rimmed spectacles. Are the 60s coming back around again? Enjoy!
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!
Dazzling spectacles of light make up for one of the many Christmas Ornaments found at the Eaton Center in Toronto.
