M as in Max

MAX

German car number plates are abbreviations of the cities or regions the car is registered in.  The larger cities have one letter – so M stands for Munich. And this car even has a name!

111 letter M too

In wine growing regions the name of the vinyard is often written in large letters on walls.  This M is part of the name Domberg in the Nahe region.

The M in the Ironman logo is very prominent.

111 letter M three

I can’t help seeing an M in this crown or these dancing people.

More Ms or possibly Ns can e found here, linked to Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: letters M or N.

I almost missed this challenge – A Photo a Week Challenge: Things with wings – so I looked at all the entries so far and I won’t even try to compete with all the gorgeous birds, and bees, and butterflies.

And to round it off here is a German car number plate.  I like that sometimes the letters make actual words.  It helps if you live in Wiesbaden (WI) but really sucks for people living in the Börde area (WZL) – formerly Wanzleben (“here there be bugs”).

Damn, those Dirty Dots look kind of Dada!

German car number plates have the area abbreviation and two more letters. In some areas one can have more fun with words than in others (try to make something pronounceable with MTK or WHV).  Darmstadt (DA) is a goldmine, but Dieburg (DI) and Dortmund (DO) can also yield some interesting finds.  I’ve only recently started to take pics of fun number plates, I’m sure my collection will grow in time.
