A Box Bug (Gonocerus acuteangulatus) in my garden. The species name amuses me, maybe it relates to the pointed 'shoulders'. A handheld focus stack.
Formed of an 11 car Pendolino 1F12 Euston to Lime Street slides by 370003 at Crewe Heritage Centre, viewed from Crewe North junction box.
Christmas box, Sarcococca confusa, is a dense, winter-flowering evergreen shrub, bearing sweetly scented, pure white blooms, in contrast with dark green leaves.
It is extremely tolerant of shade and is therefore perfect for growing in a woodland border or shady corner, where one can enjoy its heady fragrance throughout winter.
Sarcococca confusa enjoys being in moist but well-drained soil in sun or shade, ideally near a path or in a front garden, where one can appreciate its scent, and believe me, it's a scent well worth experiencing!
My wife rearranged things on this table this afternoon. She put more stuff into the box Jane had claimed for herself. The poor cat now has to lie on a pile of plastic horses and rest her head on a flat car.
After the pic, I removed the flat car and generally fixed things up so the box would be nicer for the little girl again.

Bat Detector Box, this box is used to detect the presence of bats by converting their echolocation ultrasound signals to audible frequencies usually about 300 Hz to 5 kHz. Bats emit calls from about 12 kHz to 160 kHz, but the upper frequencies in this range are rapidly absorbed in air. Bats use echolocation which is the use of sound waves and echoes to determine where objects are in space, bats send out sound waves from their mouth or nose. When the sound waves hit an object they produce echoes. So when it gets a bit warmer I will be out there listening for them, And Pauline if you see this I still have your bat box and it’s still ok thanks.

Teasing is over, here is the real thing. Inside the box, a semi-illuminated street with a strange scene going on.
These photos are'nt so great, but this creation means a lot to me, so please visit this page for more pix, different views and construction details :))
Made for a local convention this last week-end, and more coming up hopefully!
Feel free to tell me what you think, good or bad, or anything in between!
cheers y'all :D

This photo, suggestive of an old-fashioned lift cage, in fact shows inside a much smaller enclosure: one of the electrode housing boxes that will fly on ESA’s LISA Pathfinder mission, planned for launch later this year. The inside of the box measures 5.5 cm on each side.
LISA Pathfinder is a technology demonstrator that will pave the way for future space-based observatories measuring gravitational waves – ripples in the fabric of space-time that are predicted by Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity. Produced by massive accelerating bodies, these perturbations are expected to be abundant across the Universe, but they are yet to be detected directly.
Although not aiming at detecting gravitational waves, LISA Pathfinder will test the technologies that could be used for this daunting endeavour. In particular, the mission’s goal is to achieve the best free-fall ever, reducing all the non-gravitational forces acting on two test masses and controlling any residual effect with unprecedented accuracy.
LISA Pathfinder's test masses are two identical cubes of solid gold–platinum alloy, measuring 4.6 cm on a side and almost 2 kg each. Once in space, they will have no mechanical contact with their immediate environment. Each cube is surrounded by an ‘electrode housing’, its walls lying several millimetres from the cube on all six sides.
The boxes will track the positions of the test masses and apply tiny adjustments if needed. The housings are part of highly sophisticated equipment that includes a laser metrology system and several microthrusters to apply small shifts to the spacecraft’s position to keep it centred on the masses.
In fact, achieving a near-perfect gravitational free fall is very complex even in space, as forces other than gravity will disturb the motion of the cubes, including pressure from sunlight and particles from the solar wind.
The data collected by LISA Pathfinder will reveal all the spurious effects that can affect the purely gravitational motion of two test masses in space. In a full-scale gravitational wave observatory, the test masses would be contained in individual spacecraft separated by a million kilometres. Knowledge of all the non-gravitational forces acting on them will be needed to calibrate and optimise such a future experiment, enabling the detection of possible variations in the position of the test masses caused by a passing gravitational wave.

The back room, sat between the kitchen and 4th bedroom was full of cardboard boxes! Consisting of, hub caps, headlights, computers, batteries, jumper leads and much, much more!
Here are the three most common cockpit box designs or techniques I use. As can be seen, they yield quite a variety of shapes.
Well, some do.
This is by no means exhaustive, as some designs (like the Vic Vipers) use more brackets, or a combination of Cockpit 2 and brackets.
As I sat waiting for the mountain bluebirds to return to their nesting box my shutter finger got itchy to take some pics... so I decided to play with an HDR shot...
