Hand-made invitations to a "spring fling" event. :-)
Trish and I found single digits mounted and painted on many surfaces. I'm going to save some privately on Flickr for future use in slide presentations.

Walking to my hotel in London the other week via Broadgate, I came upon this scene of a cyclist resting under the large 5 numeral so quickly grabbed a shot as I walked past. It was one of the first images I took that weekend and was a very good start!

After realizing that clocks with Roman numerals have a different spelling of the four than the official depiction, I was looking for an exception. Most watches use IIII instead of IV, but here is an outsider. On the police station building in Widnau with the sgraffito "Seize the Time" by Albert Wider. The V is almost a Y here. A photo in a newspaper report revealed it. But the report wasn’t about the clock. Most people are not even aware of it. Switzerland, July 31, 2024.
The Roman numerals are not a secret. Only the four is out of line. Almost all clocks with Roman numerals use a depiction with IIII instead of the usual IV. Why? There are various explanations for this, but none are really convincing. Watchmakers are aesthetes and the most banal explanation would be that the four with four lines represents a stylish counterweight to the eight, which is quite heavy. Hardly anyone notices, and everyone knows what four lines mean. I haven't noticed it with this clock yet. Switzerland, June 20, 2024.
