A fancy present box for a 30th birthday. Delivered to a stylish cocktail party in the hills of Perth.
Inside a dense chocolate mudcake filled and covered in white chocolate ganache.
I have wanted to make a present box cake for a while and was very happy that I got my chance!
Rose Street, Edinburgh
One of the 142 former Police Boxes in Edinburgh.
Most, if not all have been sold off and have new uses as coffee bars or tour guide stations.
The Police Box Network dates from 1932 and this is evidenced by the fact that most have sinks installed with the date embedded in them. Most were designed by City Architect Ebenezer MacRae and manufactured by Carron Ironworks of Falkirk. The boxes used to have sirens on top and were used by officers to phone into the station, report and get further instructions. The aforementioned sink in each box served as an urinal, washing facility and a tap to provide refreshment.
Lucky find in Leakin park. Gave it a piece of chicken and continued on our walk. By the time we got back both the chicken and the turtle was gone.

Isn't it beautiful in Summer, to see houses, walls, windows and facades, decorated and cheered up with flowers.
Some people just do not have a garden, what a brilliant solution, for all of us!
Do we even think about that now or is it just another given?
It suddenly dawned on me.
I think there is a trend though, to also have autumn and winter plants and fun.
Oh please, ANYTHING to make our moods brighter, lol.
Thank you, M, (*_*)

This is a practice shot for this weeks SSC challenge - looking down. Two old storage boxes from a charity shop and some of the semi-precious stones collected from the floor of the Scratch Patch in Cape Town many years ago.
Whitby signal box, photographed on 3 August 1981.
From wikipedia:
"In 1854, the Y&NM helped form the North Eastern Railway, who later added two more platforms (also replaced by the supermarket) to help deal with traffic from the other branch lines that served Whitby; the Esk Valley Line finally opened throughout to a junction at Grosmont in 1863. The coast line from Loftus opened in 1883 and from Scarborough in 1885. Block signalling replaced the time interval system in 1876 and brought Whitby an unusual three storey signal box (to make it high enough to see over the adjacent goods shed)."
A slightly more "in your face" shot of Sunday's 6E01 Carlisle - Eggborough.
Sadly it would appear that Bardon Mill signal box is not long for this world. Having been switched out for more than 15 years it would seem from the document linked below that Network Rail want rid.
In Amsterdam Noord there is a crazy place called NDSM-wharf. It's crazy what's inside the NDSM building and the area surrounding it is crazy as well.
As the official web site states, from the 1920s to the 1980s NDSM was one of the biggest shipyards in the world, then it was converted into "Kunststad", an "Art city", and now it's full of weird buildings, arts installation, and whatever creativity could mean.
This picture was taken in the neighborhood, I couldn't resist to those brilliant colors and the box-shaped houses.
"My grandmother kept a box of old photos in her attic
we used to go up there on rainy days
sit on the floor in the dusty light
go through them and she would tell about witches and broken hearts
how we came from royal blood and it was all there in the pictures
then we'd lose the light and we'd all go downstairs for dinner
and in our secret hearts
we sat taller knowing once we had ruled the world. "

Actually this phone box is not as desolate as it looks as it is next a road at Studland where traffic queues to board the Sandbanks Ferry.
The red telephone box is a public telephone kiosk designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott and is a familiar sight on the streets of the United Kingdom, Malta, Bermuda and Gibraltar. Despite a reduction in their numbers in recent years, the traditional British red telephone box can still be seen in many places throughout the UK, and in current or former British colonies around the world. The colour red was chosen to make them easy to spot.
The red phone box is often seen as an iconic British symbol throughout the world.
This one is the much used K6 (kiosk number six) design which In 1935 was designed to commemorate the silver jubilee of King George V. K6 was the first red telephone kiosk to be extensively used outside London, and many thousands were deployed in virtually every town and city, replacing most of the existing kiosks and establishing thousands of new sites. It has become a British icon, although it was not universally loved at the start. The red colour caused particular local difficulties and there were many requests for less visible colours. The red that is now much loved was then anything but, and the Post Office was forced into allowing a less strident grey with red glazing bars scheme for areas of natural and architectural beauty. Ironically, some of these areas that have preserved their telephone boxes have now painted them red.
Studland Bay is protected from the prevailing southwesterly winds and storms by Ballard Down and Handfast Point, the chalk headland that separates Studland from Swanage Bay to the south. In the 17th century there began a process of sand accumulation in the bay and along the South Haven Peninsula stretching north, resulting in natural land reclamation and the creation or expansion of the bay's beaches and its sand dune system.
The beaches at Studland Bay are amongst the most popular in the country, and on rare hot summer weekends they fill up with thousands of people. The beaches are situated in civil parish of Studland on the Isle of Purbeck in the English county of Dorset. The South East Dorset Conurbation of Poole, Bournemouth & Boscombe lies on the other side of Poole Harbour, resulting in the beaches being relatively accessible to a large population via the Sandbanks Ferry. North of the visitor centre the beach and dunes are owned and managed by the National Trust, who have restricted parking provision at the site to prevent overcrowding. A short northern stretch of beach is reserved as a naturist beach.
Since the early 20th century the supply of sand to the bay has depleted and erosion is occurring so that, if natural processes are uninterrupted, the coastline may in time retreat back to its previous line, visible as a line of higher ground between Redend Point and the hill east of the Knoll House Hotel. In January 2004 the BBC television series The National Trust investigated the conflicts between different groups of people who use the beach and heath at Studland. The series particularly covered the debate about coastal management, with the Trust proposing to remove defensive walls to allow natural processes to shape the coastline, though this would result in loss of some land and property.
The final stage of the South West Coast Path (if walked in the conventional anti-clockwise direction, starting at Minehead, Somerset) follows Studland Bay and ends at South Haven Point, where a sculpture marks the end.
The actual village of Studland lies 2.5 miles (4 km) to the south of here and it is famous for these beaches and a nature reserve. It lies within the Purbeck administrative district, and is located about 2 miles (3.2 km) north of the town of Swanage, over a steep chalk ridge, and 3 miles (4.8 km) south of the South East Dorset conurbation at Sandbanks, but separated from it by Poole Harbour and the Sandbanks Ferry. The parish includes Brownsea Island within the harbour. In the 2011 Census the parish had a population of 425, though many of the houses in the village are holiday homes, second homes, or guest houses, and the village's population varies depending upon the season.
Sandbanks Ferry is a vehicular chain ferry which crosses the entrance of Poole Harbour and its route runs from Sandbanks to Studland and in doing so connects the coastal parts of the towns of Bournemouth and Poole with Swanage and the Isle of Purbeck. This avoids a 25 mile journey by road.
The ferry, along with the this road that connects with it on the Studland side, is owned by the Bournemouth - Swanage Motor Road and Ferry Company, which initiated the ferry crossing in 1923, and a toll is charged for use of both road and ferry. The current toll for a car is £3.50 each way. The current ferry boat, named Bramble Bush Bay, was put into service in 1994 and can carry up to 48 cars. It is the fourth vessel to operate on the route.
The entrance to Poole Harbour is a particularly busy waterway, used by many private and leisure craft along with commercial vessels including large ferries serving routes to France. This often affects the ability of the ferry to maintain its nominal 20 minute frequency. Wilts and Dorset buses cross the ferry frequently throughout the day, on route 50 from Bournemouth to Swanage.
Today's art is often meant to be interpreted by the beholder. So what is the message sent by this object: Art in boxes? Boxed in art? Many boxes of art? Art is risking to fall?
Whatever; I like this sculpture!

1. Taking pictures a tool (camera), not a photographer.
2. The choice of tool limits the possibilities.
3. Experience allows him (instrument) less and less to limit their capabilities.
4. The ability to see is given only when the observer allows ...
5. The moment of observation is the real find ...
6. Training and mastering it defies. Training leads to poor imitations of the original.
7. Often the result should ripen, like wine. Although time is the understanding of the mind, therefore it is very speculative.
8. The meaning of all this is the process!
9. Let it be!

Lovely cottage apparently used for advertising on chocolate boxes situated at Thornton-Le-Dale near Whitby
Most of my Superstar era dolls came with their boxes, (for some reason it's only really that era that I have to get dolls that are MIB or NRFB!) and while most get released from their boxes and put on display, especially if the box is somewhat damaged, there are some I actually prefer to display in their boxes, as I just love the whole presentation. Beauty Secrets Christie was on display for a while and had fun playing with her, but she has now joined her friend Beauty Secrets Barbie (the 1980 New York convention edition - I have another regular one that was de-boxed and is now on display) on that wall of boxed beauties in my Dolly room.
