Monthly Theme Day, numbers

There are so many ways in which numbers are invaluable in a City. House numbers, telephone numbers, dates on buildings, and of course, they are particularly significant on headstones. So much of a City’s history can be gleaned from the information on old gravestones, like this one in Russell Road. There were many Irish amongst the early settlers.
Many City blogs around the world are participating in this Monthly Theme.

    This makes me think not about numbers, but about Thomas, and why he came to Port Elizabeth, and what his life was like. And yes, the slant of the light – golden and gorgeous.

    The contrast of the light and shadow is very well done. Echo the original choice as said above.
