Kaliphlin may be a war torn, battle scarred guild, but here as elsewhere, ordinary hardworking people bring everyday beauty to lives throughout the Siccus Badlands.
My first contribution to the Kaliphlin at Work collab. Don't miss the rest over at Guilds of Historica!
See the build behind the scenes and read about its making here at my blog!
A box turtle soaks in a pool in an ephemeral streambed in the bottom of a steephead ravine feeding the Apalachicola River. Box turtles in this area are extremely variable, exhibiting characters from both eastern box turtles and Gulf Coast box turtles.
Wanted a change from the food :) The pearls although broken were a gift a few years ago but the box is from Kashmir (a friend went a few years ago :D)
...Brey’s “boxes” are only boxes in a single sense. They appear ordinary and familiar from the outside, but at the point of contact, interaction or performance they begin to unfold. The material and situational complexity of works like Sutra, 2010, The Black Cube, 2012, Water 2013, The Uncanny, 2015 and others, reveal themselves to be constellations within a Caribbean universe. Through them, Brey speaks to the infinity of the natural world, the sublime possibilities of one’s dreams and imagination. In part, thee works also act as psychological container of fractured history, blurred and concise memories and through material, form and experience, enter the fifth dimension. ( Fragment from “Adrift”, 2019 )
Info on the box from the "Settle Carlisle Railway Conservation Area (SCRCA)" website:
"The current signal box at Garsdale is a three-bay version of the Midland Railway 'type 4c' standard design and it became operational on 10th July 1910. Its original dimensions were 30ft. long by 10ft. 6in. wide and the operating cabin is 8ft high. It houses a 'type 33R' manually operated 40-lever tappet frame (which was manufactured in 1910 at the Derby signal works).
When first opened, it was known as 'Hawes Junction' signal box and it replaced two earlier signal boxes ('Hawes Junction South' and 'Hawes Junction North'). However, on 1st September 1932, it was renamed to 'Garsdale Station' signal box. (On the same date, the name of the station was officially altered from 'Hawes Junction and Garsdale' to 'Garsdale'.)
On Saturday, 24th December 1910, the operation of this signal box played a key role in the 'Hawes Junction Disaster' (one the most deadly accidents to have occurred on the Settle & Carlisle Railway).
In 1983 (when the line was being run-down for closure), the box was 'switched out' (i.e. it was not used for normal traffic purposes). However, it was maintained in an operational state and it was reactivated for short periods of time when traffic on the line was busier than normal (e.g. due to diversions from the West and East Coast Main Lines and when steam specials were booked to stop at the station to take-on water).
During the second half of the 1990s, the box was re-opened on a part-time basis (as traffic levels began to increase following the line's reprieve from closure).
In 2008, its opening hours were extended to 24/7 to cater for a significant increase in freight traffic. Also during 2008/9, a small extension was added to provide toilet and washing facilities within earshot of the operating floor (thereby reducing the need for the duty signaller to temporarily close the box).
In 2014, remedial work was carried-out to combat a subsidence issue and to extend the life of the box. During this 4-month (£275,000) project, the operating floor was supported by an internal steel frame constructed on a series of 'mini piles' and the building was fully refurbished (including replacement windows, a new slate roof, and repainting).
In 2021, the box’s structural timbers and outside cladding were repaired, the roof and windows were replaced (again), the staircase, toilet extension and window cleaning balcony were rebuilt, a new kitchen was installed, and the entire structure was repainted."
A box turtle decided to walk along our sidewalk to the home, so i picked it up and moved it to a safer area and took a couple of photos.
I used the 100-400mm along with an extender so i could shoot closer than the 6 foot minimum focus distance. The extender, which is basically a ring with no lenses, allows very close focus but does not let you focus after say 6 feet.
If you ever wondered how ASDA Supermarkets got their name, just look at the destination box on this former Southern National 1954 Bristol LS5G with ECW B41F body. It was photographed in Leeds Road, Wakefield in June 1976, returning to its Lofthouse base, after its daily afternoon staff bus run into Wakefield from an ASsociated DAiries factory.
For Cliche Saturday ~ Rows of colours edtion
These scrumptious looking chocolates are made of silk ribbons and other such delights and the box is on display at Chatsworth House, Derbyshire.

Day 6 of Pentax Forums Single in August photography challenge.
I've photographed this wooden box from Zanzibar before. It's hand carved with a lovely almost raw texture. I've been really liking the way the lamp lights objects on the living room table with a dark and moody feel, so I've decided to photograph it once again.
Bear boxes have various designs. All require that you have at least one person in your party with fingers and who is smarter than a bear.
I haven't seen this kind of lock elsewhere.
Dune Creek Camp, Great Sand Dunes National Park. The camp is nestled in some cottonwoods along Sand Creek, facing the end of the dune field. It's altogether serviceable but not a "destination" site like Aspen.
Some junction boxes along the old New York Ontario and Western Railroad main line near where it once crossed the Erie's Montgomery branch and Maybrook spur. The O&W shut down in 1957.
