The Signal Box at Fiddlers Ferry Widnes Cheshire still manned at the power station of the same name which closed down in 2020 after 49 years of operation. This freight line runs from Ditton to Warrington and beyond a view looking east, and now sees some use mostly container trains to and from Garston Freightliner Terminal, but coal trains are no more.
for a "out of the box" exhibition coming up in May 2017.

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
Steve Hackett from his recent 'Genesis Revisited' gig at the Royal Albert Hall.
The RAH is such an iconic venue, I was keen to get some shots that captured the band's performance...in the context of the venue.
This one works for me. :-)
The light on the boxes was fleeting. I shot a burst of several shots...and this was the only one where the boxes were highlighted.
My thanks are due to Steve and Jo Hackett for arranging my Access All Areas pass. :-)

I can't believe it yet! I have my own Kirakishou! *O* She has always been my dream pullip. It was really difficult, but finally she's here ... Did I say that I can't believe it? xDDD
I can't wait to show you the pictures I've made >///_<)
view light box - this is to wish Doug, my Saturday walking companion, a speedy recovery. He was taken into Chase Farm Hospital with heart problems while I was away in Gloucester
Giving Darktable Photo Editing Program another go. Considering it is an open source program thus no payment required it works well. Lacking the Ai features that Adobe has though.
the boxes of the old bridge hang above the boxes of the buildings (which have box windows and box cubicles)
When there was a lull in the fighting on the front in the war between Finland and the Soviet Union, soldiers made this kind of wooden boxes.
OK, so the Red Box Project (www.flickr.com/photos/puckpics/albums/72157663674756954) is largely about the variations and situations where GPO Red Boxes and there equivalents are installed.
These may be planters in a garden center, but they are still red boxes created in homage to Sir Giles Gilbert Scott's seminal 1924 design.

I'd had an Amazon delivery and the box was on the floor by my feet. Max decided to investigate, so I picked up the camera.
First he took out the packing paper, pushed the box upright, went round and round - head first, bottom first, tail in, tail out, until at last he sat up tall and proud!
"I did it!!" lol
One of Scotland's more modern but also short lived signal boxes, Hunterston Junction.
The signal box was built in 1978 to a standard Scottish Region Relay Room design with signalman's area combined. It opened with the commissioning of the short branch off the Largs line into the British Steel High Level Loading Terminal. The new facility built by British Steel allowed iron ore and coal to be rapid loaded to trains direct from conveyors at the Hunterston deep water port replacing what had previously been done at General Terminus Docks on the Clyde in Glasgow. The box opened on 2/4/1978 but initially only controlled movements within the High Level terminal complex and trains running on the 3 mile branch to and from Hunterston Low Level in conjunction with Hunterston BSC Control Tower in the port. It wasn't until 20/7/1986 that it was fully commissioned as a block post on the Largs passenger line when track rationalisation ahead of the electrification of the line resulted in adjacent boxes closing at Fairlie and Holm Junction. Hunterston Junction box ceased to function as signal box when Paisley PSB took over the route on 28//8/1992 when it was down graded to a Ground Frame. So a relatively short life of six years as a fully fledged signal box. It remained in situ controlling access to the High Level Sidings only, being manned by BR yard staff then EWS after privatisation but not in a signalling capacity. With the cessation of coal traffic in 2015 it saw a further downgrade to an unmanned relay room as the branch to the high level was mothballed.
My last three photos from my June 28, 2016 walk in Frear Park, Troy, New York, USA. I saw what looked to be newly-hatched Box Elder Bugs. When I first noticed them, they were huddled together--adult & nymph. As I leaned close, to take macro shots, the adults wandered off, leaving the nymphs alone. Finally, all that remained was nymphs. Not very conscientious parents, I guess! ; )
At 180 feet down, Box Canyon is a deep and narrow gorge in Mount Rainier NP from which the Cowlitz River flows. The paved trail here is a little treacherous in wet weather: steep and bumpy, but plans to redo the trail are evident by the construction equipment here. Purple wildflowers were blooming where the mist was kicked up, but behind roped off areas, so I didn’t venture there. I was a little nervous taking these shots, as the best view is looking over the rain-slicked, dry rotted railing and looking straight down, but fortunately, the landscape photography gods were kind to me and I did not lose my camera gear in the abyss.
For "Looking Close ... on Friday". A very old, much played with Jack-in-the-box which is only 2 inches high.

I've been contemplating uploading this shot for a while now. I wasn't sure at first but have grown to love the texture and simplicity of it.

Origami box with Lucky Star molecule. The molecule can be tessellated and is based on hexagonal 8×8×8 grid.
I called it this way because I was happy about this design which I find quite elegant. Even though I have seen some similar ideas (e.g. by Alessandro Beber and Peter Keller), I wasn't able find proof of anyone creating exactly the same design before, so if it really is new, I will feel lucky to have found it. If I do learn of someone folding it before, I will still feel lucky to have reinvented it.
Update: I learned that the molecule is structurally almost the same as Day and Night Tessellation by Haligami, the only difference being how the rays of the star are locked.
