After Edale it was off to Earles arriving at 1050'ish.
A lovely box, it's looks spoilt by it's flat roof which like Great Rocks is the result of a fire .
Absolute block both ways again and here there's an IB section in both directions.
The box and sidings opened in 1929 with the opening of the cement works located at the end of the branch.
The narrower centres and the location of the frame in the back of the box give a clue to it's more recent heritage.
Not a lot has changed here over the years, the IB's were introduced to counteract closures of boxes at Norman's Bank (towards Edale) and Hope / Bamford. The box diagram is dated 1982 and is very little altered. A busier box than it's Grade 3 neighbors on each side it is thus a 4.
The cement works were developed by G & T Earle and thus surely the Earles should have an apostrophe but it hasn't ??
Some details of the branch and it's history here...

Earles Sidings Signal Box.
11.01 on Wednesday 6th May 2015.
The attractive ex-Great Central Railway signal box that was originally at Blind Lane, Wembley. Next to it is a lamp hut that came from Whetstone, south of Leicester on the GCR.
The 'bobby' (in his hand the cloth used for pulling the levers - sweat from your hands rusts the steel) looks on as Andrew our guard (and also a signalman, Rothley stationmaster and the railways operations manager) converses with another railway employee.
Beneath the bridge, the Rothley Down section signal (the top arm) is at danger. Under that is the Swithland Down distant arm. This implies that the Swith Down home signal is at danger, although the box is actually 'switched out'. But the lower arm can't be 'off' when the top (stop) arm is 'on'. When the signalman clears his section signal for us when we return from Leicester, the lower distant arm will also rise to the 'off' position.
Great Central Railway.

Brown box car, one of three I have made. The others are light gray and (not finished yet) sand green. I decided the third one will be sand green to make it cool and fashionable ;-)

It must have been a special birthday for Kings Lynn-based rail tour promoter Nigel Dobbing as West Coast Railways, the train operating company which operates his charter trains, provided a a rake of coaches including some heritage vehicles for a special private charter to celebrate the event. Of note was the use of the 'Queen of Scots' observation car positioned at the rear of the train, and the use of WCRC's recently restored 'Jubilee' No. 45699 'Galatea' to haul the train. On a grey 20th May 2013 the ensemble is seen passing Whittlesea signal box heading back from Kings Lynn to Carnforth with the empty stock off the previous days charter.

Palazzo Zenobio, Venice (Italy)
Opening: October 13th 2012, 18:00.
In a group exhibition titled Memory Box at Palazzo Zenobio in Venice I will be showing a dozen platinum prints and photogenic drawings from my shadows series.
It's about Memory - permanence and transitoriness are the two key concepts for my contribution: the platinum prints are possibly the most permanent printing technique, while the merely stabilized (not fixed) photogenic drawings are one of the most transitory ones, and they will invariably deteriorate (and finally vanish into paleness or into a black blob) while exposed to direct light during the exhibition… The photogenic drawings add some "colour" to the installation with their characteristic hues of yellow blue and purple (respectively stabilized in potassium iodide, potassium bromide and sodium chloride) - but they are short-lived… just like so many other things concerning memory…
If you are somewhere close by, please come and say hello!

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
Hexagonal box... Purple top folded from an 8.5 inch wide hexagon gridded in 16ths... Yellow bottom folded from an 8.5 inch square divided in 7ths... It's amazing how it works out that 1/8 * 2 / root(3) is slightly larger than 1/7, thus making the top fit the bottom snugly...
The overlap section between the top and bottom is actually an anti-prism, which means the lid actually holds quite well, and does not fall off even if turned upside-down and shaken with objects inside...
The top is a result of some of the playing around I did on the yellow sheet with the offset double-pleats... It didn't look too good tessellated, but I realized the sides could be wrapped down and turned into a box-top...

Arad means Bronze in Hebrew, and this is his chosen box, number one.
Its quiet, yet distinctive. Its very simple to fold, and beside the grid (4x4) only 4 crease lines are added.
the search is over, we have a winner!
This cigar box could not have had the blessing of George Eastman who prosecuted all copyright violators. Perhaps that is why this box is not more common. I have seen old tobacco cards that say "Smoke a Kodak". The front of the box says "Snap Shot" which is a more common cigar box and label to find.
You are born in a box. People label you immediately by superficial traits. You are limited by these labels.
I want to know why you can be defined by something you didn't choose to be. If you didn't choose it, how does something like a random trait represent you as a person in any way that matters? And I want to know why these traits are the first things that receive judgment from others.
Your physical nature does not describe your heart, but it does make you a part of humanity. One thing that unites us all as humans is that we were born into bodies we did not choose.
It seems the best thing to do is to accept that fact and move on. But then again that is coming from my privileged perspective. None of us are exempt from judgment, but those of us who are white, heterosexual males are undoubtably unfairly privileged. How can we change this to make life bette for everyone? How can you feel comfortable in Your Box?

Recently I saw the 6 Point Logarithmic Stacked Star by Georigami and was inspired to fold this box from one hexagonal Tant paper for the lid and one for the bottom.
