A 1948 license plate... with a bit of rust.

 

bakapo posted Sun, 03 August 2014 at 10:05 PM

I love that tombstone!

auntietk posted Sun, 03 August 2014 at 10:26 PM

Until we got to West Texas, I'd never seen an 80-mph speed limit sign!  Driving the motorhome and towing the car, we might have got as high as 70 or 73, but 80 was certainly beyond our reach!  LOL!

OH Yes, it is so long time since i got a smoked Mackerel :) I would have loved go fishing such :) Awesome, Jeff.

Love that tombstone too. Superb, Tara.

Great Licence plate so full of rust.  I love rust.

Tara, here we have awful lot of speed limits. Great shot again.

Havent found much with numbers around here, but I have this weather station :)

Here is something from the electronics industry that I am in.

Here are a few numbers on a PCB (Printed Circuit Board); the 1334 indicates the week that the PCB was manufactured, in this case the 2013 week 34.

All of the TP numbers are Test Points; used in the testing, tuning or programming of the completed assembly.

 

cfulton posted Thu, 07 August 2014 at 1:45 PM

 

That is quite a bit warmer than here at the moment,  Helle! 

All numbers with meaning...

 

aksirp posted Thu, 07 August 2014 at 3:04 PM

Mean: Runway **A**lpha, **28** degree east, **10** degree west :-)

aksirp posted Thu, 07 August 2014 at 3:05 PM

Helle, very hight humidity there... but not to hot :-)

cfulton posted Thu, 07 August 2014 at 3:38 PM

 

Perfect!  I really like it, Priska!

Sweet 16

My daughter wanted a piggy bank with a Union Jack.  I filled it with '16' confetti for her birthday.

 

aksirp posted Thu, 07 August 2014 at 3:44 PM

you are a perfect dad! sweet 16... done with love!

helanker posted Thu, 07 August 2014 at 4:25 PM

We have a few cooler days this week. They say, that next week will again be warmer. I am enjoying these cooler days though.  The shot was taken a few days ago, when we had the first cool day and rain for many weeks.

I like the print board. It has so many exciting details :-)

Good coordintates, Priska :-)

And clive, what a lovely birthday present for your daughter.  :-)

helanker posted Thu, 07 August 2014 at 4:31 PM

How about a very old memory card?

auntietk posted Thu, 07 August 2014 at 8:00 PM

It's hard to believe your daughter is 16, Clive.  Time flies when you're old!  LOL!

Here you go with some numbers from our American trip in 2011 which some might think interesting - to me it's mind blowing!!!.

jayfar posted Fri, 08 August 2014 at 9:19 AM

And here is another concerning the carving of the Crazy Horse Memorial.

 

Can supply a pic of the Memorial if required.

bakapo posted Fri, 08 August 2014 at 4:53 PM

Those are fascinating facts and numbers.

I'm glad you're feeling better.

Bonus points to the first person who can tell me which building this marks!  :)

(A hint ... their measurements weren't satellite based.  These numbers are close, but not perfect.)  :)

Thanks for the welcome!  This Time, I will try to be a bit more subtle with the numbers. This is the Prescott, Arizona Courthouse taken December 13, 2013 at 8:07 PM I believe.

When we were at the Cougar Mountain Zoo, I was moved by this plaque on a bench in front of the tiger habitat.  This is a rememberance of Denise's friend who passed away last year.  It was a nice connection to have heard Denise's stories and seen the tiger pictures and then to come upon this lovely tribute in person.  I took out the identifying names on the theory that it's better to err on the side of caution.  After all ... it's about the numbers.  :)

I like the Roman numerals, Jeff.

Marge lived an interesting life, Tara, 96 is a good number too.

This was taken at the fishing village of Beer in South Devon.

 

A fitting tribute.

Time.  Always numbers involved. 

 

A bonus with all the 'lens' specs as well!
