0.000 HBDHouse Nameplates Around My Village. Archtecture Building Additions
Where I was brought up there were few if any names on houses. Every house had a number and in a typical street, all of the houses would be similar. Only the front gardens and gates distinguished one house from another. I now live on a small island GOZO. Here it seems almost every house has a name and often a religious statue also. I thought I would do a series of house nameplate images. For me, so many house names are a novelty compared to my time in the UK as a youngster. The first nameplate is a traditional stone plate that is carved for each house name by hand.  DMC-TZ80 1/250sec - F/7.1 - 62.1 mm - ISO 80 The second plate is a very modern marble nameplate. This was probably also created specifically for this customer. Marble cutting, polishing, and shaping are easy to find here. Most names have a religious aspect to them but not all.  DMC-TZ80 1/250 sec. - f/7.1 - 129 mm - ISO 80 This is a nameplate of a popular style being proud of the stonework held off with a few spikes set in drilled holes. Usually, the names are painted black but this one doesn't appear to have ever been painted.  DMC-TZ80 1/250 sec. - f/7.1 - 44.8 mm - ISO 80 Finally, for this post, I could not get to the front of this nameplate due to a van being parked in front of it. Ta' Manwell a standard design that is mass-produced.  DMC-TZ80 1/250 sec. - f/7.1 - 30.9 mm - ISO 160 I hope you enjoy these different styles of nameplates. I will continue with the series as I find more to photograph. They were taken with a little pocket camera that I usually carry with me. Popping to the shops with a DSLR is a little cumbersome. https://images.hive.blog/640x0/https://images.hive.blog/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmP3JwhJTLab9kwWP3EviRKcTmRZeHPkYa7gopj6HWH2LX/Blue%20spiral.png
