The theme for July's Monthly Photo Challenge, hosted by Eileen at A Bracelet of Days was Number(s). In addition to the usual rules of a minimum of five photos, taken during the month (no archival photos), etc., she had also added a challenge that the photos of numbers had to be from different sources, although the same number could be repeated (provided they were from different sources). As always, I looked forward to the challenge. There were numbers just about everywhere I looked, here are the few that I photographed:
 |
| 1. Checklist at the Post Office |
 |
| 2. Speed Limit Posted in a Parking Lot |
 |
| 3. Temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit |
 |
| 4. Dates on a Calendar |
 |
| 5. Touch Pad on the Microwave |
 |
| 6. Level 3 Piano Book |
 |
| 7. Roman Numerals on a Clock |
Numbers are interesting, aren't they? I would have liked to have photographed some Chinese or Korean numerals, but, I didn't remember to do so when I was in the parts of the city where I would have seen them. Ancient Sri Lanka had its own written Sinhala numerals, but, these days Arabic numerals are used and the old Sinhala numerals are known only to scholars. I think the last official document to include the old Sinhala numerals is the treaty signed between the chieftains of the kingdom of Kandy ceding the country to the British in 1815, although a version is still used in traditional astrological documents.
As always, thank you Eileen for hosting the monthly photo challenges. Hoping there will be on in August and looking forward to it.
