Palindrome

Palindrome by Caveman 92223.
I love word and number games. While I was driving along the Rim of the World highway in the San Bernardino mountains, I noticed that the mileage on the odometer was a palindrome. (A palindrome is a word or number that reads the same forward and backward.)

The word palindrome first appeared in the English language sometime around 1620–30. It comes from the Greek word palíndromos, meaning recurring. It is derived from pálin meaning again, or back, plus -dromos, meaning running.

Nicely captured. Glad to see the needle is pointing to 0 rather than 50.

I had to stop. On those winding roads, it's too hard to steer with my knees so I can keep both my hands free to operate the camera. :-)

Thank you. A lot of people have mentioned that they've been glad I stopped to take the photo. I have 232,232 coming up in the next week or so. I'll have to try that one at 100 MPH. :-D
