I like those first 3 especially but tell me why on the monument that all of the letter U are inscribed as a V?

Paul,

I love viewing street photos. These are great! Thanks for posting them. Street photography is what I enjoy most. Charles Hess used to post his street photos and I was drawn to them. I've never turned back! They always carry a human interest story - as do your's.

LATIN.
Even after all that time, the Roman invasion of Britain affected our perception of what a monvment ought to be.

In Latin the letters U and V are the same, and are the 20th letter in the Roman alphabet. They are both a vowel and a consonant, so that the Romans would have spelt Venus as VENVS, the first V being pronounced vee as a consonant, and the second V being pronounced uh as a vowel.

So to make the monvments svfficiently grand, they vsed Latin like inscriptions.

Nice shots, that last one is great. I'm sure it speaks volumes to every husband who's ever shopped with his wife...

Strange, I was out shopping with mine, and only had time for a quick snap shot from the hip as we dashed past on the way to something ... can't remember if we bought anything, it's the thrill of the hunt
