Getting the boxes ready...
The beginning of the end of my backlog!

The diminutive signal box at Whiteball Siding situated just to the south of the tunnel, between Wellington and Tiverton Junction. The box had been rebuilt in 1955 following a fire, on the original 1876 Saxby & Farmer Type 4 base Bristol & Exeter Railway box. The large notice warns about the fragility of the asbestos roof structure. The box closed in 1986, its area coming under the panel box at Exeter.
The notice on the door of this red telephone box on the corner of Mayfair Place and Berkeley Street says that as it is not used enough it is to be removed. One of the iconic images of Britain is slowly disappearing.
A high ceiling, as yet untainted by BRs push to fit all manual boxes with the lowered cheap polystyrene roof tiles - which although effective in warming the boxes, looked awful! Also present are the old tin light covers that you could spin around to any direction - unfortunately there never seemed to be enough light from them.
The signal box is a GWR design and was built in 1914. It worked to Wellington box until 2002 when that became absorbed by Madeley Junction (which itself was demolished when Wolverhampton PSB took over in 2012).
As well as the subsequent installation of various colour light signals it now works to the West Midlands SCC which was the final one in the "Russian Doll" effect when it took over Wolverhampton PSB in 2016.
The triple and double stack ground disc signals have since been reduced to single ones and the main semaphore section signal (no.90) with Severn Bridge's distant signal beneath was later converted into a colour light.

All of my bento goodies have now arrived and I found this brilliant storage box to keep them all in from Ikea
For A Year of Dolls! Odds & Evens - January 17.
Malorie and Whimzy are celebrating Malorie's new hairs by looking through a box full of their great grandma's vintage costume jewelry.
Paper: left - rectangles cutted from 20 cm Glassine; right - rectangles cutted from A5 thick Glassine
Model: Tomoko Fuse
Book: Beautiful Boxes 3 p. 8-10, p. 16 (lid of the left box)
Glassine has a nice effect on this boxes in showing a hexagonal star inside the lid. My first try with the thick glassine didn't work out too well - the paper breaks very easily which was a problem with the lid.
So I made a second with normal 40 g/m² glassine, which turned out better and surprisingly stable.
This old telephone box was once painted in gloss 'Post Office' red paint, but it's become so faded over time that it's now this dirty matt pink colour. I guess that the paint used these days isn't as good as the paint used years ago for painting such things.

I was today at the Amateur Box Competition in Aarau for documenting it.
This is one of the most action loaded shots, but more will follow.
Please press "L" for the light box, much more impressive.

Wooden handmade jewelry box with two drawers.
Box size 20 x 11,7 x 9,2 cm.
Made from oak, finished with ecological oil and wax. The drawers are lined with white soft fabric. A soft case for 5 rings can be placed in various positions.
From squares.
Another serious case of rocket science : diagonal of a silver rectangle is used for the angle of the pentagonal twist.

The one on the right is quite similar to a box I learned many years ago from Akiko Yamanashi at Ousa convention.
Hurricane Katrina is long gone but New Orleans hasn't forgotten. A funeral for a hurricane victim is the subject of this window box mural in the French Quarter. Folk Art.
This is my version of a gift box cake that I made at an Andrea Sweetcakers class on Sunday. This is a dummy cake so I did not add too many details, I will be reproducing this cake "in real mode" at the end of the month. All the cakes from all the students were amazing ..
Three pictures from the old slide box.

This was my Grandfather's tool box. He died in 1935. It has his initials on it. My Dad gave it to me many years ago.
The corners are joined with finger joints. The top and bottom are tongue and groove boards that are nailed to the sides. The latch is a hook and eye. The handle on the lid is a bail type with stops. It lifts up 90deg and then hits the stops. There are five holes in the plate but it is attached with just two screws.
I think this is more of a storage box. Not a job site box. The handle and the latch are not in proportion to the volume of the box. If this box were fully loaded it would be very heavy. The handle would be uncomfortable after a short time to carry. It would be awkward to carry because of the width the box would bump on your knee. The latch would easily pop open dumping the tools out.
I use it now to store some other smaller tool boxes.

The Alka Box (c1953) is just one of several attractive box cameras made by Vredeborch of Germany. This example has a soft plastic handle, parallel to the sides of the camera, while some have a diagonal handle (similar to the one on the GAP 6x9 box). Another Alka Box variation is that some included a built-in yellow filter, rotated into place by a knob below the lens (located where the 'O' in 'box' is). I have also seen a knob-less example where the 'O' was not filled in -- it was just a silver circle without the black inside. Most Vredeborch box cameras have the awesome nifty-fifties covering seen here, but some had the standard run-of-the-mill pebbled covering (also similar to the GAP).
So many old box cameras have viewfinders that are almost completely useless - tiny, yellowed, dim & dirty. This camera's finders are the exact opposite. They're large, bright, clean, and crystal-clear, which is pretty good for being 60 years old!
No post production
(other than pasting)

ISO100

lens(which ever was used) stopped all the way down

This nest box we put up several years ago and the squirrels moved in, since then they have had babies every year in here, Just before the babies leave the nest they get bored and start munching on the box, I think this year it will need to come down and be renovated before next years family move in.
This letter box, which was taken from a railway station on the Tanga-Moschi line in German East Africa, captured by the British during 1916, was presented to Lahore Post Office by Majore General Sir R. Hewart, D.A and Q.M.G in recognition of the services rendered by postal officials of this circle to the East African Expeditionary Force.
Now this letter box is part of Golra Heritage Railway Station.
This well painted post box caught my eye today. The next collection is apparently "NOW", which seems unlikely on a Sunday evening - so likely "MON" :-)
A small detour as I headed north on business again.
