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.
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.
...possible shots with spectacles! I know that the eyeglasses can‘t be worn for this weeks "Smile on Saturday" theme, however I still had to realize this idea as well...
Shot with a Kyoei "E-Acall Anastigmat 105 mm F 4.5" lens on a Canon EOS R5.
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.
Complete with spectacles, so it can see me even better. Another very beautiful vireo, to conclude this mini-series on these birds… At Nutter’s Battery, Central Park, New York.
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!

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Love his glasses hanging there - enjoy!
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.
