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.

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.

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.

Late day there in Arches National Park.

Tim Mc Morris - It´s A New Year

It's a new day, and a new year

Shout it out loud, sing with the crowd

Celebrate 'cause, good things are coming

New opportunities are at the door

Hold your head up, drop the sorrow

No regrets now, for tomorrow

It's a new chance, for a new life

Everything you've been waiting for

The future's bright now, as things turn over

The possibilities, around the corner

New innovation, with new creation

All the good things that we have in store

Now it's a brand new day

And it's a brand new year

And there is hope in tomorrow, now there's nothing to fear

It's not coming, yeah, it's already here

Now it's a brand new day

And it's a brand new year

So sing and be happy, and share the good cheer

It's not coming, yeah, it's already here

It's time to dream, bigger dreams

Where impossible is not hard as it seems

And live in high hopes, throughout your day

And know that happiness is quickly on it's way

We're movin' forward, we're goin' higher

We're reachin' things that we formerly just desired

Fun and excitement, it fills the air

And there's more than enough for us to share

Now it's a brand new day

And it's a brand new year

And there is hope in tomorrow, now there's nothing to fear

It's not coming, yeah, it's already here

Yeah, it's a brand new day

And it's a brand new year

So sing and be happy, and share the good cheer

It's not coming, yeah, it's already here

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 misplaced my spectacles. These arrived from an online store. A generic prescription. One lens is perfect for me. Better than nothing at all.

The struggle of losing your reading distance is not having your glasses handy when you need to inspect something closely.
