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.

I misplaced my spectacles. These arrived from an online store. A generic prescription. One lens is perfect for me. Better than nothing at all.
Die Plimaschlucht hat sich über Jahrtausende hinweg tief ins Gestein eingeschnitten und dabei fast senkrechte Flanken blank geschliffen und eine enge, eindrucksvolle Schlucht am Fuße des Cevedales mit dessen Eiswasser geschaffen. Heute präsentiert sie sich als eine Naturarena für Besucher auf der Suche nach einzigartigen Naturschauspielen.

The Plimaschlucht has cut deeply into the rock over thousands of years, grinding almost vertical flanks shiny and creating a narrow, impressive gorge at the foot of the Cevedales with its ice water. Today it presents itself as a natural arena for visitors looking for unique natural spectacles.

My nemesis bird of almost two years, the Blue-headed Vireo (Vireo solitarius) was often seen by folks in the areas I frequented. "Oh, yea, I just had a great blue-headed vireo here," they'd say. "It was super cooperative and showy." And then I would invariably catch a fleeting look at its butt as it disappeared up into the trees! Yesterday, I finally succeeded in making a reasonable photograph of one!
These stunning birds wear white feather spectacles on their slate blue heads, and we are fortunate that, by count, their numbers have been increasing over the last fifty years. Once considered a solitary vireo, they are now recognized as a separate species. In fact, the whole 'solitary vireo' species has been blown out into three separate species. The most vividly colored and eastern-most blue-headed vireo, Cassin's vireo, and the plumbeous vireo.
Keep on gaining in numbers, vireos...you're a pleasure to see!
My second pair of $20 glasses from Zenni Optical (I screwed up the prescription on my first order).
I think they make me look like a megadork, therefore they are awesome.

The Colosseum or Coliseum , also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre , is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of concrete and sand, it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The Colosseum is situated just east of the Roman Forum. Construction began under the emperor Vespasian in 72 AD, and was completed in 80 AD under his successor and heir Titus. Further modifications were made during the reign of Domitian (81–96). These three emperors are known as the Flavian dynasty, and the amphitheatre was named in Latin for its association with their family name (Flavius).
The Colosseum could hold, it is estimated, between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, having an average audience of some 65,000; it was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.

Le Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ (« Bâtiment musical sur l'IJ » en néerlandais) est une salle de concert d'Amsterdam, située dans le quartier de l'Oostelijk Havengebied, qui accueille principalement des concerts de jazz et d'improvisation musicale (dans le Bimhuis) ainsi que des spectacles de musique contemporaine. Ouvert en 2005, le complexe conçu par le cabinet d'architectes danois 3XN est construit au-dessus de l'IJ-tunnel, qui relie le centre de la ville à Amsterdam-Noord, quartier situé sur l'autre rive de l'IJ.
La Bimhuis est un lieu de référence pour des séances musicales improvisées et du jazz. De grands artistes hollandais et internationaux s'y produisent. La programmation de le Bimhuis, c'est actuellement plus de 300 concerts par an, qui couvrent la palette du jazz et de l'impro aux Pays-Bas et à l'étranger.
Le Bimhuis a ouvert ses portes à Amsterdam en 1974, à une époque où l'on jetait les traditions par les fenêtres pour faire place à l'innovation. Le Bimhuis s'imposa alors comme la scène de jazz la plus importante et reste à ce jour le catalyseur des nouvelles musiques dans le domaine du jazz. En 2005, le Bimhuis a déménagé pour s'installer à l'auditorium t IJ.
