This is part of the front scale from a Remington 12 typewriter, from the early 20th century. The numbers reflect the scale of 10 characters per inch, with each minor tick representing the width of one character - one-tenth of an inch.
Shot for Macro Mondays' weekly theme "numbers".
This was the first time on this trip I could stop and take all my toys from the car with enough time to enjoy.
I was designated driver at the time, my co-driver happily sleeping as the sun came up on this glorious vista. Took a while to find a safe parking spot so missed the 'Golden time' but hey, I'm not complaining. More to follow.
Number 290 of my 365 photo challenge - A wide angle, landscape image of Skógafoss in Iceland.
My father is the figure on the right of the group in front of the falls.
We don't give much notice to the ubiquitous garbage truck, yet without it, life would get pretty interesting within a few days.
In Elgin Park, there was only one such truck, owned by "Pip" Paulson, and he made the rounds tirelessly, 5 days a week.
All of the town's castoffs were taken down by the river, at a place called Bunkie's Landing. This used to be a notorious area for rum running and other nefarious activities, back in the 1920's and '30s, but times had changed and the town's dump was now there.
Back to "Pip" Paulson; he was a valued citizen who performed a very necessary task that kept the town running smoothly. He bought himself a new Buick in 1948, seen here, which he kept in tip top shape and remained his only car until he passed away in 1965.
A hail and hearty Hurrah! for the "sanitary engineers" throughout the world. This photo is dedicated to you.
As for the model...the business end of the garbage truck, in the photo, was handmade, based on an early '50s design. It is constructed of styrene plastic and found objects.
On a different note...

I've posted a mono version of a similar shot years ago, Scales Moor is a flat plateaux of limestone in the Yorkshire Dales. There are a number of Erratics like the one here scattered randomly around.

Ronda is excited about her new MCM (MId Century Modern) furniture for her dollhouse. Ronda, her chair and table are 1/6th scale. The furniture is 1/4" scale, or 1/48th.
The sideboard is a kit from Small Scale Living, to which I added various beads as accessories. The chair is a repainted Re-ment piece.
Insect scales come in all sorts of colors and shapes. These are from the elytra of a small weevil I photographed a while back (Curculionidae, see the first comment line).

Yesterday I tried to post a photo of this figurine but Flickr viewed it as inappropriate, so here I am again hoping this time it will work. I've taken it from another angle that doesn't show the figurine's body. It's of Lady Justice and I don't think most of the Lawyers in this country would consider this figurine to be lude. The photo below is the one that was deemed restricted. Personally I think she's lovely!

Canoes floating below the Victoria Glacier in Lake Louise.
There are over 50 visible people in this image! Hard to imagine just how small we really are, until you set foot in a place of such scale.
Belonging to the same genus as Inca Dove and Common Ground Dove, this small, gray dove with distinctive scale-like feathers is found commonly but discontiguously in S. America (a population in Eastern Brazil and another in Colombia/N. S. America). This is the Ridgway ssp. (note black edging to feathers). A Lifer seen at Hato La Aurora.
People asked what are you going to make with it, sewing needles. So, stick pin for scale.
Yes, I even made the little nuts. Crushed a few in the process. Parts of this were made on a lathe not much newer than after the period this is modeled.
See photo stream for other pictures. It took over a year working once a week about 5 hours.
