Each year, Gallery Route One in Point Reyes invites over a hundred artists to create unique works of art using a wooden box.
Here are the inspiring artworks they created this year: they range in style from whimsical to poignant and thought-provoking. These photos were taken on closing day, when the gallery organized a live auction for each of this year’s 150 boxes. The proceeds support the gallery’s exhibits and community programs.
Two of the boxes were created by members of our art community: Howard Rheingold (a.k.a. Dr. Rindbrain) contributed an illuminated box called ‘Magical’, while Geo Monley and Meryl Rubenstein made ‘Les Puzzles.’
Members of ‘Pataphysical Studios came to cheer for their peers -- Dr. Really was the highest bidder for Dr. Rindbrain’s piece, which was thus kept in the family. After the show, we all went to Stellina to celebrate over a nice dinner.

Wansford Signal Box is just outside Wansford Station. It was built in 1907 by the London & North Western Railway and is one of the largest preserved signal box in its original location.
The signal box and the railway are part of the Nene Valley Railway who where hosting their Annual Autumn Steam Gala while I was there. In my photograph you may have noticed LNER A4 Gresley Pacific 4-6-2 No.60009 Union Of South Africa running tender first around the loop before the locomotive begins her duties for the day.
I captured this image with my Panasonic G7 on the 16th September 2017.
A commentary on gender issues, the Box Project is meant to reflect a woman's feelings of insecurity regarding her body under the scrutiny of a sexually-charged world. The world I live in, the world of twenty-somethings and college parties, has caused me to want to hide my body at times, a body that I am normally very comfortable in and proud of. The models portrayed are passive, so as to let the box speak for itself, and are placed in both public and private places, a nod to the idea that we should feel safe and at home in our bodies no matter where we are.
This is a "pill box" on Aberdeen beach, left behind from the Second World War. Soldiers would keep a watch out for the invaders. Over the years the boxes have moved... further along the beach, some are still in the dunes, on the grass. Most are at funny angles. This is the fourth or fifth one to the North from the River Don. At low-tide, more are visible, as well as concrete blocks to hinder any landing tanks.
This photo has been converted to b/w, the contrast and brightness increased significantly and then coloured adding a bit of red, half the amount of green and subtracting the green amount from the blue to give an extreme sepia look.
Taken 25/02/15; The signal box is still standing, but I understand it was taken out of use on the weekend of 14th/15th February 2015.
Brigham City is a city in Box Elder County, Utah, United States. The population was 17,899 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Box Elder County. It lies on the western slope of the Wellsville Mountains, a branch of the Wasatch Range at the western terminus of Box Elder Canyon. Brigham City saw most of its growth during the 1950s and 1960s, but has seen a struggling economy and stagnating growth since then. It is near the headquarters of ATK Thiokol, the company that created the solid rocket boosters for the Space Shuttle.
Brigham City is known for its peaches and holds an annual celebration called Peach Days on the weekend after Labor Day. Much of Main Street is closed off to cars, and the festival is celebrated by a parade, a car show, a carnival, and other activities. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) dedicated its fourteenth temple in Utah in Brigham City on 23 September 2012.
The city is the headquarters of the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation, a federally recognized tribe of Shoshone people.
Mormon pioneer William Davis first explored the Brigham City area in 1850. He returned with his family and others a year later to create permanent homes. Brigham Young directed Lorenzo Snow to create a self-sufficient city at the site in 1853. Snow directed both religious and political affairs in the settlement, eventually naming it Box Elder in 1855. Brigham Young gave his last public sermon there in 1877 shortly before his death, and the name of the town was changed to Brigham City after the church president. In 1864, the cooperative movement began in earnest with the creation of a mercantile co-op store and was an important element of the United Order of Enoch. Other industries were added, and the Brigham City Co-op is widely recognized as the most successful of the Mormon Co-op ventures. Economic hardships brought an end to the Co-op in 1895, though the Co-op had first started selling businesses off in 1876.
Despite layoffs over the past decade, much of Brigham City's economy relies on Thiokol, the creator of many missiles, as well as the solid rocket booster for the Space Shuttle. Additionally, the local Autoliv (formerly a part of Thiokol) airbag plants also net Brigham City many jobs. The addition of a Walmart distribution center in nearby Corinne has also brought new jobs.

Glass mosaic in many different shades of green on a wooden base, with a glass frog and golden ball on top. Its grouted in green and the inside and bottom of the box are also tinted green.
This steam engine previously used in the estate sawmill is a Ruston and Hornsby stationary engine. It was originally ordered by Imperial Russia but was never delivered because of the Revolution.
The engine has been restored and is on display in the stable yard.
Renishaw Hall is a Grade I listed building and has been the home of the Sitwell family for over 350 years.
The current owner of Renishaw is Alexandra Sitwell, daughter of the late Sir Reresby and Lady Sitwell.
The house was built in 1625 by George Sitwell (1601–67) who, in 1653, was High Sheriff of Derbyshire. The Sitwell fortune was made as colliery owners and ironmasters from the 17th to the 20th centuries. Substantial alterations and the addition of the west and east ranges were made to the building for Sir Sitwell Sitwell by Joseph Badger of Sheffield between 1793 and 1808 and further alterations were made in 1908 by Sir Edwin Lutyens.
The owner until 2009 was Sir Reresby Sitwell, 7th Baronet Sitwell of Renishaw the eldest son of Sir Sacheverell Sitwell brother of Edith and Osbert.
The gardens, including an Italianate garden laid out by Sir George Sitwell (1860–1943), are open to the public. The hall is open for groups by private arrangement. The park is listed in the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England as Grade II*.
The 1980 BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice used footage shot at Renishaw Hall. D. H. Lawrence is said to have used the local village of Eckington and Renishaw Hall as inspiration for his novel Lady Chatterley's Lover.
The Sitwells have always been avid collectors and patrons of the arts and the history of the family is filled with writers, innovators and eccentrics.
Dame Edith Sitwell (1887 - 1964) was a grandly eccentric poet and novelist, described by one observer as “an altar on the move.”
Sir Osbert Sitwell (1892-1969) wrote prose, poetry and also many short stories and novels, including Before the Bombardment (1926)
Sir Sacheverell Sitwell (1897-1988) His first volume of poetry, The People’s Palace, was published in 1918. He is also well known for his writing on art, architecture and ballet.

Back home when I viewed this shot I thought there was someting odd about it, but it wasn't until I looked at my March 2008 photo of the same box, and photos of other red boxes that I clocked the difference. Instead of the traditional TELEPHONE on a white background, there is a black band under HM's Crown. See comment below.
You may be surprised to know it's in working order, which is just as well as I still need it!
The hinged lid can be adjusted to various degrees in relation to the base. The base is adjusted via the tripod head. So it could be tilted back almost flat for water color.

this phone box has been here over 50 years. i'm surprised that it still remains. there is no phone now. and no ziggy stardust.
Photo taken on the The Angel Hill Bury St Edmunds. For those who have never visited the Town in Suffolk was, until the early 1870s, the site of the famous Bury Fair. People from Europe and across the Far East came to buy and sell. In recent years the Christmas Fayre held all over the Town has its focal pint here on Angel Hill and is now one of the biggest in the Country.
It is one of the finest Georgian Squares in England and is a tourist hotspot with the Abbey Gardens , Angel Hotel and the Athenaeum all of significant interest to the visitor.
The Abbeygate is probably Bury's most photographed building. It was rebuilt in 1347 after the locals pulled the original down.
Charles Dickens stayed at the Angel and read to audiences at the Athenaeum
On a rush to emulate Bre Pettis' Weekend Projects, I built my own power box where all my mobile devices can be charged at. Aren't you fed up to deal with so many chargers spread around the house? I was, so I bought a 2,5 euro plastic container at Hema, a 7,99 euro compact power hub. Made few cuts for the cables to go throughout and ready!

Taken 22/07/12: I was in Wool for the D’Urberville Dash 10K and took the opportunity to snap the signal box (incidentally the Station Building must be one of the ugliest on the National Network). Based on the following from the SEG web-site, this may have been a timely snap:
“Next year [2013?] the line between Parkstone and Weymouth will be re-signalled, with control then from Basingstoke ASC. Signal boxes to be closed are Poole, Hamworthy, Wareham , Wool and Dorchester South. … Wool … dates from the 1890s and appears to have original frames. … [and has] been altered over the years … the Network SouthEast extension … is far from sympathetic to the original structure."
Looks like I’ll have to try and get to Poole and Hamworthy in the near future.
