From Wikipedia:
The Humboldt Box (German: Humboldt-Box) is a futuristic museum structure on the Schloßplatz in the center of Berlin, Germany. It was built as a temporary exhibition space and viewing platform for the Berlin Palace - Humboldt Forum construction project and to inform the public about its future use.
The futuristic five-storey building in the center of Berlin, complete with terraces and a rooftop restaurant overlooking the Lustgarten, is 28 metres (92 ft) high and has an area of 3,000 square metres (32,000 sq ft). It opened on 29 June 2011 and welcomed its 100,000th visitor 50 days later. After completion of the Humboldt Forum, planned for 2019, the structure is slated to be dismantled.
The Humboldt Box features exhibits sponsored by the Friends of the Berlin City Palace (German: Förderverein Berliner Schloss e.V.) and organizations projected to be housed in the future Humboldt Forum, including the Ethnological Museum of Berlin, the Museum of Asian Art, the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, various departments of Humboldt University and the Central and Regional Library of Berlin. One floor of the building also serves as a venue for private events. The Humboldt Box was designed by the architectural firm of KSV Krüger Schuberth Vandreike.
Another room full of boxes after my move. The monitor is not in a box because the box it had been in was all bashed and I took it out to make sure it wasn't broken. It was fine.

The majestic Victorian signal box at Shrewsbury Shropshire (UK)
Lovely shot of a fantastic structure from David's archives and posted here with kind permission.
Shrewsbury station and signal box seen
the Lea Valley Railway Club "Ffestiniog Orbital" railtour going round the Abbey Foregate curve.
This tour ran from Euston to Wolverhampton where the tour split. Half the tour got on DMUs down the Cambrian to Pwllheli and back to Porthmadog followed by the Ffestiniog railway to Blaenau Ffestiniog and 40122 back to Stafford. The other half of the tour did the same circle in the opposite direction.

The Kenilworth Camera was manufactured by the Standard Camera Ltd. company of Birmingham, England in circa 1930. It was a simple box camera designed for capturing 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 inch exposures on either number 120 or number 620 roll film. It was constructed with a cardboard front which is hard to find in good condition. The first models featured a round viewfinder window and later model II version has a square window. It came with a fixed focus meniscus lens, and a simple time and instantaneous exposure shutter.
Considering it's age it has a bright viewfinder that is actually usable..
But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you;
And the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you;
And the fish of the sea will explain to you.
Who among all these does not know
That the hand of the Lord has done this,
In whose hand is the life of every living thing,
And the breath of all mankind?
Job 12:7-10
In the Exoduster town of Nicodemus, the home of a woman named Clementine lies abandoned. On the floor still lies the box of coal she used to heat her home.
I'm currently living out of a box. There are more in the garage and even more in Washington State, but this is the one I access the most.

Slightly edited shot of a Box Bike Babe in Amsterdam. Taken with my Sony HX1.
In the last 2 years or so, it became extremely fashionable in the best city in the world to have a giant box attached to the steering wheel of your bike. The purpose for this was originally to have more space to stow away bags and other stuff, but quickly it turned out that all these people want to achieve is to terrorize the rest of the population with their oversized boxes. City hall is seriously considering to have the bike-parking metal frames adjusted, so that those humungus atrocities actually fit in there, because unlike a regular bike, these babies require at least 2 or more parking spaces, because of, you guessed it, the boxes. I've never actually seen of these Pod People Box-heads carry anything in it, they really just seem to be there to make a point, which one, I'm not sure, but that could be my limited imagination, lol :)
Almost weekend!
My son has gotten into D and D. I made this box for him for Christmas (Laurie Mika style), to store his figures, etc.
“There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, "Yes, I've got dreams, of course I've got dreams." Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it, and yep, they're still there." Erma Bombeck

The blythe boxes are so pretty it's really a shame they get put aside or thrown out, so I thought I'd give them a chance to shine.

Box I made to keep the long cables connecting my peripherals organized.

The shipping geniuses at Beckman Coulter sent this box. Note the "prevent back injury" and "bend knees to lift" markings. The box seemed much too light to cause back injury. Indeed, inside was only the sheet of paper with directions for the product shipped previously in a bigger, heavier box. Plus crumpled packing paper, to protect the printed paper from, um, shock and impact. Not only could they have e-mailed the instructions, they've sent zillions of copies over the years, and I hardly need another copy. This is the same company that has a history of not padding the shipments of glass bottles of toxic, flammable, expensive solvents adequately, resulting in breakage. But the sheet of paper is well packed.

This was the first Box Turtle I encountered on this late April Visit to Broughtons Wildlife Area . I was happy to see that he did not retreat into his shell after seeing me. I took a few photos and thanked him for posing.
We have had enough of boxes.... First of all this massive truck load of boxes ends up in our driveway. We unboxed them all and reboxed them into smaller, postman friendly boxes which then got transferred to our post office over the course of 4 days. They ran out of room very quickly so the postie van was called numerous times throughout the day to collect them. Just when we thought all box related episodes were finished, we now have to pack up our own things as we move to Sydney. We are over boxes...
See me? :)
This shot turned out to be more trouble than I thought it was going to be. I went through 5 or 6 takes of trying to squeeze into the box within the 20 seconds (timer). But I could not get my head low enough in the box in each take. I almost gave up, but at that point I was too vested in this shot to quit, so I removed the tape from the bottom of the box and opened it up. So the bottom of the box is basically about 6 inches off the ground my legs are hidden by the strategically placed boxes. Went through 3-4 more takes because the damn flaps kept falling over. So I finally taped the flaps together with clear tape. Never doing that again!
It is fortunate that photographers sometimes kept exposed and developed color photographs in the original box. We find the boxes to hold very interesting information from the "use by" date, December 1913, for this box of plates to the handwritten notes on exposure and development.
