The Palace of Versailles, or simply Versailles, is a royal château in Versailles in the Île-de-France region of France. It is also known as the Château de Versailles.
When the château was built, Versailles was a country village; today, however, it is a wealthy suburb of Paris, some 20 kilometres southwest of the French capital. The court of Versailles was the centre of political power in France from 1682, when Louis XIV moved from Paris, until the royal family was forced to return to the capital in October 1789 after the beginning of the French Revolution. Versailles is therefore famous not only as a building, but as a symbol of the system of absolute monarchy of the Ancien Régime.
Tourist attraction and art exhibition site
The Fifth Republic has enthusiastically promoted the museum as one of France's foremost tourist attractions.
The Public Establishment of the Palace, Museum and National Estate of Versailles, a French établissement public à caractère administratif, and Château de Versailles Spectacles organized a Versailles exhibition of the modern art of Jeff Koons in 2008. Six of the works on display came from "the vast private collection of François Pinault, France's wealthiest art collector."
In 2008, official Versailles figures stated that nearly five million people visit the château, and 8 to 10 million walk in the gardens, every year [Wikipedia.org]
The only Santa Clause in my mother-in-law's collection (or my wife's) with glasses. Maybe if he didn't try to squint his way through so many foggy nights before Rudolph came along, his eyesight would be better.

This was made for a challenge which consisted in creating a MOC with exactly 20 pieces.

Spectacles around the early 16thC were held by the bridge up to the face. They did not pinch on the nose.
A quick snap that took two weeks thinking about, and fifteen minutes to shoot.

Second choice for "Our Daily Challenge ....o ne thing I would keep"
I have a "love-hate" relationship with my glasses but I could not manage very well without them so I am going very practical with this one and nominate them as my must keep possession. Without them I lose my sight and consequently many of the things I most enjoy in life.
As I was leaving a small, remote cemetery, I spotted these reading glasses which had been carefully placed on the edge of a large old stump. Somewhere there is woman searching her pockets and coming up empty.
My shiny new glasses. At least one of the two pairs I bought the other day. My eyesight has apparently got better in the past two years, so I only need them when I'm tired or when I have to look at small details from a long distance during presentations at meetings or at the cinema. Natural light from the window with white balance set for tungsten light. :)
