The old slide rule of my father, seen from close :)
A slide rule is a hand-operated mechanical calculator consisting of slidable rulers for evaluating mathematical operations such as multiplication, division, exponents, roots, logarithms, and trigonometry. It is one of the simplest analog computers. Invented in 1632 by William Oughtred, inspired by Edmund Gunter's logarithmic ruler. It was widely used by engineers until the late 1980s.

Eastern Moors 310524 - I think all the lizards I saw today were gravid females - it would be good to have more around as numbers appear to have dropped in the time I've been visiting this place
2203's numberboards after arriving in Brunswick one rainy night. This was formerly B&O 3583, a late phase GP35 wreck replacement for an earlier unit.

Just four numbers lower at PC 18474 and I would have found the caboose, or "cabin car" that I practically grew up in. PC Model N-11 18478 is on display in downtown Union City, Indiana along CSX's ex-Big 4 (CCC&StL)/NYC/PC/CR Indianapolis Line Sub. This cabin car was never red while in service though, and wore PC green when built by PC in their ex-NYC Despatch Shops, then later Conrail blue.

Era il tempo in cui, per ricevere una telefonata, occorreva stare a casa,alcune volte fissare il telefono, quasi per esortarlo a produrre quel driiin che spesso non arrivava mai...
These metal numbers are nailed on to the pole. Probably 50 to 60 years old. They identify the location of a telephone or hydro-electric pole's location.

ENGLISH
Gothenburg (Swedish: Göteborg) is the second-largest city in Sweden and the fifth-largest in the Nordic countries, and part of Västra Götaland County. It is situated by Kattegat, on the west coast of Sweden, and has a population of approximately 570,000 in the city center and about 1 million inhabitants in the metropolitan area.
Gothenburg was founded as a heavily fortified, primarily Dutch, trading colony, by royal charter in 1621 by King Gustavus Adolphus. In addition to the generous privileges (e.g. tax relaxation) given to his Dutch allies from the then-ongoing Thirty Years' War, the king also attracted significant numbers of his German and Scottish allies to populate his only town on the western coast. At a key strategic location at the mouth of the Göta älv, where Scandinavia's largest drainage basin enters the sea, the Port of Gothenburg is now the largest port in the Nordic countries.
Gothenburg is home to many students, as the city includes the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology. Volvo was founded in Gothenburg in 1927. The original parent Volvo Group and the now separate Volvo Car Corporation are still headquartered on the island of Hisingen in the city. Other key companies are SKF and Astra Zeneca.
Remarkable buildings:
The Gothenburg Central Station is in the centre of the city, next to Nordstan and Drottningtorget. The building has been renovated and expanded numerous times since the grand opening in October 1858. In 2003, a major reconstruction was finished which brought the 19th-century building into the 21st century expanding the capacity for trains, travellers, and shopping. Not far from the central station is the Skanskaskrapan, or more commonly known as "The Lipstick". It is 86 m (282 ft) high with 22 floors and coloured in red-white stripes. The skyscraper was designed by Ralph Erskine and built by Skanska in the late 1980s as the headquarters for the company.
By the shore of the Göta Älv at Lilla Bommen is The Göteborg Opera. It was completed in 1994. The architect Jan Izikowitz was inspired by the landscape and described his vision as "Something that makes your mind float over the squiggling landscape like the wings of a seagull."
Feskekörka, or Fiskhallen, is an indoor fishmarket by the Rosenlundskanalen in central Gothenburg. Feskekörkan was opened on 1 November 1874 and its name from the building's resemblance to a Gothic church. The Gothenburg city hall is in the Beaux-Arts architectural style. The Gothenburg Synagogue at Stora Nygatan, near Drottningtorget, was built in 1855 according to the designs of the German architect August Krüger.
The Gunnebo House is a country house located to the south of Gothenburg, in Mölndal. It was built in a neoclassical architecture towards the end of the 18th century. Created in the early 1900s was the Vasa Church. It is located in Vasastan and is built of granite in a neo-Romanesque style.
Another noted construction is Brudaremossen TV Tower, one of the few partially guyed towers in the world.

Which number to take, that's the question... Golf clubs in low light.
[I guess good monitor calibration is required to enjoy this shot optimally.]
Because of some ongoing health issues I'll very likely be posting large numbers of photos. With maybe 20,000 photos not published on Flickr, my uploading will probably be awash with many architectural shots soon.

This was taken in Crewe, Virginia (Nottoway County) and shows a passenger car with Norfolk & Western cloths on each of the seats. The N&W and the Southern Railroad merged in 1982. A few years later the rail line became the Norfolk Southern. The date of the car is unknown, but it's close enough to the 1950s when I occasionally found myself on a train trip.
