Drowning by Numbers

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a pink or purple day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Smile on Saturday is numbers.
As you can see, Mr. Egg is obsessed with numbers… Since he gained a little bit of weight, he can’t stop measuring himself… He takes note of all the numbers each day. Unfortunately for Mr. Egg, even with all the efforts he makes in order to lose some weight, the numbers are still the same (or almost)… Maybe Mr.Egg’s metabolism has slowed down…or maybe it is hormonal … or maybe it is both… or maybe Mr. Egg eats too much Nutella on his cheat days… We will never know. However, Mr. Egg is very motivated to bring those numbers down before going back to work in few weeks…
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! Have a beautiful day !
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
A relatively small diving duck with a tall peaked crown. Males are handsome with glossy black head and back, clean gray sides, and a brighter white spur on the side. Females are grayish-brown, often with a paler patch at the base of the bill and a white eyering. Both sexes have a white band near the tip of gray bill. Also note gray, not white, wingstripe in flight. Usually favors small bodies of water, such as beaver ponds and cattail marshes, but also occurs on larger lakes, rivers, and bays. Can be found in mixed flocks with other diving ducks, although usually in smaller numbers than scaup. Compare with both species of scaup and Redhead (especially females). (eBird)

The Roman Number C (= 100) derives from the Etruscan variant Ж (made of a right-hand open and left-hand open letter C) Under the Roman influence only the right-hand open C was kept and stands for the Latin word centum (= 100).

In the long forgotten past before Sat-Nav (Satellite Navigation) and GPS (Global Positioning System) , we had to find out where we were and where to go using paper maps and strange little manual devices called…..Compasses!
For the group, ‘Crazy Tuesday’ and the theme of ‘Numbers’.
Arithmophobia or Numerophobia is the exaggerated, constant and often irrational fear of numbers. The words Arithmophobia and Numerophobia both have Latin/Greek origins where the root word stands for numbers, and phobos is Greek for “deep aversion or fear”.
The fear of numbers can place many restrictions on the phobic’s life and may even affect his standard of living. Specific number phobias like the fear of number 13 or 666 etc could be fuelled by cultural or religious beliefs or even TV shows and movies about them. She/he often feels embarrassed to admit the problem causing one to become socially withdrawn. Hereditary, genetic factors and brain chemistry can sometimes lead to this phobia.

Two of my trusty rules to get the size of the macros frames, one steel rule and the other an inside/outside caliper done in inches and mm which makes it super easy to convert inch to mm. This was an 1-5/8 inch frame or 41mm.
They are everywhere these days.

A foreground feature to catch interest, a nice colour in the sky to fill the background and some smooth water to fill in the gaps. I know it’s all very formulaic and landscape photography by the numbers, but you know what, I’ve been doing this for years now and I still like the formula. I still find myself mesmerised by a beautiful sunset and find it invigorating to get up before the sunrise to see the stunning dawn to a new day. I wish I had more free time to catch nature’s lightshows but for now I’ll get out there when I can and hope to catch a few images worth sharing. Even if they are a bit formulaic!

I have chosen this sixty year old barometer for Macro Mondays theme; "numbers". It is a desktop model, in a solid mahogany case, and it is just as accurate as todays modern digital versions.
HMM!
This photo is nearly organic :). I took it RAW so it naturally came trough some editing but I didn't do anything distinct with it, just slightly tuned the colour and the light balances. Nevertheless it looks like a HDR image, why? I think the reasons are the streetlamp light and especially the thin layer of snow which lies on all the surfaces, windows, sails, booms and boards.
The red series of numbers in the background is a work of environmental city art. It's maybe the most mainline landmark in Turku city. It looks pretty tiny here but actually it's quite large scale stuff, it has been fixed on the side of the smokestack of a power plant. The name of the work is "Fibonacci Sequence 1–55". It has been innovated and designeg by a famous italian artist Mario Merz.
Here is some information about the fibonacci sequence in mathematics. With these numbers we dance around the golden ratio, which is a very important variable in art and photography, maybe the most important.

One of the requests I get from time to time is to make a triptych of house numbers I have found on my many urban walks. They are usually a combo of numbers to celebrate a special date like a wedding. Initially, I thought it would be easy to make a portfolio of numbers because I only needed to go up to 31. The triptych for today would read 26 3 22. However, once I began paying attention to house numbers, I realized there were very few house/building numbers under 100! Charlottetown, PEI still has several homes in their downtown core with the low house numbers and their numbers often have that Maritime charisma. Then there is the old city of Quebec that has several house numbers with 1/2. I posted this one for the theme “Numbers” to make you Smile on Saturday!
