Picture This #436 ~ Measurements

Many thanks to Anders for hosting this week. An interesting and challenging theme....I really had to think about this one!! Here are my takes:

1) Sundial....for measuring time.

2)  Milepost....for measuring distance in the days before cars.

3)  Shiplog......not sure what this measures....could be speed or distance.

4) Weather Vane....for measuring wind direction.

  2. Wow - nice and fascinating pictures. Love the ancient sundial. Would be perfect for my garden. The milepost is charming; much of the US used to have these but have removed them in the interest of modernization. On to the shiplog - Tom says you are correct; it measures both speed and distance. Perhaps for smaller sailboats. Gorgeous colors in the weather vane shot.
