Ooops, Theme day: Numbers



Theme day: numbers.
Street number plaques are usually white on blue enamel squares in France (same type as the street name ones) but I've tried to look for creative alternatives around town. See how ornate numbers 17, 22 and 25 are! To view other city daily photo bloggers's take on the theme, click on one of the links below (181 participants this month!) or visit the City Daily Photo portal.
Remark: I already posted a photo earlier today (Women at work below, I hope you have a look at it) because I'd forgotten today was a theme day. So here's my repentance, two posts today for the price of one!

Journée à thème : chiffres et nombres
Vous savez tous que les numéros de maisons en France sont généralement blancs sur fond de tôle émaillée bleue, mais j'ai cherché en ville des variantes plus créatives. Regardez par exemple les numéros 17, 22 et 25 : magnifiques, non ? Pour voir comment le thème "numbers" a été traité ailleurs, cliquez sur les villes ci-dessous (181 participants ce mois-ci !) ou visitez le portail City Daily Photo.
A noter : j'avais déja posté un premier billet aujourd'hui (Women at work, pensez à descendre le voir) car j'avais oublié la journée à thème. Alors voilà mon repentir : deux billets aujourd'hui pour le prix d'un !

So many numbers and I looked through them all and found a favorite one. Number 13 and its reflection.

Gerald (SK14) said...

a neat collage - I'm still staring at the picture below of the woman on the wall - didn't realise it was a restaurant - thought at first it was a beauty parlour - I think that face would unnerve me after a while.

Tanya Breese said...

Very creative! Love it!

Jilly said...

interesting you have so many different signs in Avignon - and all beautiful. Monaco seems to have a similar mix but Menton is mostly consistent and then the various hill villages have their own sort of signs. The Old Town in Menton tho is quite separate in it's signs. I've always loved French numbers - in fact I'm about to buy some to take to friends in America, cos they want them outside there house!

This is such a beautiful collage, Nathalie.

Champ Townboy said...

This is a gorgeous collage ... I'm always impressed with French street signs and numbers!

MmeBenaut said...

Stunning! Oh to be so embarrassed by choice.

lyliane six said...

J'ai ramené le numéro 1 de ma maison de la côte d'azur, un peu de soleil en Normandie.

Sally said...

So, there is more variation than one may suppose. Looks great!

I love the collages of house numbers for this theme day. Yours is excellent.

Marie-Noyale said...

"Ç'eut ete dommage" de le rater ce ThemeDay avec une telle preparation!!
l'idee est geniale.
Felicitations.

Lady Demeter said...

amazing work. Happy theme day!

Clueless in Boston said...

Great collection of numbers from 1-30. I like 12 and 13 because they are raised, made of iron and throw shadows; though I do like the "lettering style" of a lot of the others. Number 4 looks like a child's block and is a close second as my favorite.

Clueless in Boston said...

I meant to ask, why "Oops" in your title for theme day?

Marguerite-marie said...

là il y en a pour tous les goûts!!!

Chuck Pefley said...

A number a day keeps Nathalie busy like an apple a day keeps the doctor away? Very clever of you and a lot of work to put that together. Great interpretation of today's theme. Kudos!

Chuckeroon said...

You have taken this very seriously, Nathalie. 30/30 for a full effort.

Unknown said...

wow! you must have spent so much time 'collecting' those photos.

Nice nice!

Happy Theme Day!

Clueless, as I explained the "oooops" is because I had already posted something else today, see photo below. So you get two posts today for the price of one.

Pat said...

Whewwww... what a lot of numbers! You sure did a great job! (Thanks for visiting Guelph!)

So many numbers, so little time. A fantastic collection you have put a lot of time into.

Ça c'est rigolo, ça !

Felicia said...

Oh Nathalie, you outdid yourself with this collage! It is so clever! Seeing these I wonder why we don't have such cute and good looking numbers for our houses in the US.

Olivier said...

c'est pas gentil de ce moquer de ma traduction googlelienne ;o))) oui je sais c'est pas terrible terrible ;o))

My favorite numbers photo of the day! What a lot of effort it must have taken you! Thank you for your hard work! This is an amazing collage! I love the simplicity of number 5.

Tous tes liens n'ont pas fourni le thème aujourd'hui... Pfff... faut toujours que je critique...

Mais ton thème est bien le plus joli que j'aie vu !

A wonderful and very creative way to post for theme day.

Tu as du bien t'amuser pour créer cette collection! ~ Bravo!

Excellent choice for "Numbers Day"!

Louis la Vache thanks you for visiting "San Francisco Bay Daily Photo"!

Kris McCracken said...

Fantastic! There's a fair bit of effort gone into this one. I like number 7.

Neva said...

They are very pretty street numbers!

Kim said...

Nathalie, this post is so over the top gorgeous and clever and perfectly perfect. Your eye and camera have created a lovely little work of art. I'm with Chuckeroon and Kelly. . .highest marks for this grand and lovely effort. Bravo!

travelphilippines said...

wow so beautiful street no.

claude said...

Super ! Belle mosaîque de n° de rues. Comme j'habite à la campagne, j'ai fait autre chose, vite fait au dernier moment.

Great choice for the numbers theme. The restaurant pic is fabulous. Think I would like to eat there. I assume it is modern french cuisine.

dennis said...

Dennis studied them and likes 22 and 13 the best.

Pat said...

Nathalie,

What can I say that they all haven't said?? I was out of town for three days (but posted, thanks to blogger draft...) so am only now putting in my two cents' worth for your beautiful collage!

OrganicPix.com said...

Neat theme and love the collage of unique numbers!

Bigouden Atao said...

Quelle collection !
Tout simplement superbe (et largement plus joli que ma mosaique ...)
