Everyone has a pair of sun-protective glasses ... as far as I have noticed, the folks for this round just shoot what they have... (a wise move concerning the efficiency and saving time on writing a post!) But I decided to go a different way. I wanted to not just add my 5 cents, but to show a rare coin, to brag about something that no one has in possession for sure! I firmly remembered this certain capture I made, and spent more than an hour (!) digging through my archive until I found it.
A very little extra info I can provide about it. I found this glasses at abandoned shack at rural location. Notable to mention it is not 'Made in China', but an original product of native soviet design and Chemical industry - probably late 1980-es / early 90-es. When lifted and dusted off, these glasses are perfect for cosplay of appropriate historic period action. All in all, very cool gadget! But of course, I didn’t disturb it and left lying in place, according to the unwritten rules of urban explorers: do not collect any property from locations! This is exactly what distinguishes us from looters and maradeurs. The only possible reward for risk is the thrill of the finds made, and of course the beautiful photographs of decline and decay. The degradation of human hands' creations, their assimilation by nature is an inexhaustible spring of emotions.
Monochrome version below. Which one did you enjoy more?
Если поднять эти очки и очистить от пыли, они прекрасно подойдут для косплея или исторического действия соответствующей эпохи. Клевый гаджет! Но конечно я его не потревожил и оставил лежать на месте - таковы неписаные правила исследователей заброшенных мест: не уносить с собой ничего! Это отличает нас от мародеров. Единственный возможная премия за риск - это острые ощущения от сделанных находок, ну и конечно красивые фотографии упадка и разложения. Деградация творений человеческих рук, их ассимиляция природой - бездонный, неиссякающий колодец эмоций.
