Seeing Numbers

As I searched through my photo gallery, I realised that numbers are part of every journey I take. They point me in the right direction, mark old buildings, identify homes, reassure me that I’m catching the right tram, and quietly tell the story of a place. They’re such an ordinary part of travel that I often overlook them, yet they are always there, guiding me along the way.

Here are some numbers in Black & White for Sarah from the blog Travel With Me.

This first set are numbers in Trams which I saw in Melbourne, Sydney, Lisbon, Budapest and Porto.

Here are numbers of Beach Boxes found in Brighton and in Mornington, both in Victoria.

Numbers in the faces of clocks which I found in a vintage shop.

And some random Numbers in random locations.

    they are everywhere, but darned difficult to find at times.. especial when you are looking for a house number in unfamiliar territory… hidden in plain sight.

      Haha that seems to be my kind of problem too. Thanks Clay.

    You found such a good selection, and I like the way you’ve themed your galleries 🙂 I also really liked how you describe numbers as part of every journey you take – so very true!

      Good and fun challenge you have here Sarah. And yes, it is part of travel …always.

      By the way Sarah, I heard that Leanne and Brian were having problems with your site and Brian explained it well. It is happening to me as well. so I guess you are right…maybe an Australian glitch.

        Maybe but it’s all very peculiar!

    These are great Teresa. Same city but so different to what I posted, well except for my one tram. I love the beachboxes.

    1. Teresa says:

      Yes Leanne, Melbourne always surprises you with new finds every time. Beautiful images as usual.

    It’s like with mushrooms. At first one just walks through the forest and barely sees a single one. Once your eyes are tuned to what you want to see – they’re everywhere. Great collection Teresa.

      Great comparison to a mushroom…so true!
