Fringe box office in Bristo Square, by Edinburgh University. Normally this square is filled with students and youngsters on skateboards using the space, but during the Festival in August it is filled with pop-up venues for performances and for drinking (the old joke is that almost very spare broom cupboard is pressed into services as a Fringe venue in August).
Quick night shot with the phone as I was passing on my way to the nearby Edinburgh International Book Festival (the Edinburgh International Festival, Fringe and the Book Fest are already on, with the Film Festival starting later this week - it's all go in Edinburgh in August!)
One of Jerry's toys made by Arnold from the early 50's It has a winding mechanism that makes it go and another thing to make it turn right and left.
The box is so cool I had to show it off

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.
Smile on Saturday, theme : Box
A pair of blue tits is busy collecting moss & building a nest in this box, I'm hoping they are successful and we will see some fledgelings in a couple of months time!
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.

MEGA Core Vehicle Platform (M.C.V.P) LL 928
The M.C.V.P emerged as the main utility and ground combat support vehicle for OrionBlu soon after the Blue Jacket proved to maintain air superiority over the Sonic Star. The main vehicle, simply referred to as “the Core”, has multiple platform load outs ranging from strong cargo boxes to advanced weapon turrets or tactical recon transports. The Core is fitted with strong armor plating, oversized all terrain wheels with independent suspension and advanced shielding capabilities. The Core is normally crewed by three, a pilot, a Core utilities manager and a platform specialist. Most Core vehicles also include a systems robot to monitor the overall functionality of the Core.
To increase the Core’s utility, a variety of detachable, wheeled trailing platforms can be attached to supplement the Core’s load out. The extensive list of trailing platform load outs range in function from construction and utility cranes to planetary artillery. Over half of the load outs use the same trailing Control Center which may be crewed independently of the Core if the Control Center will be detached for stationary duties, such as use as a fixed listening post or semi-permanent anti-cruiser artillery.

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.
117 Pictures in 2017 – 14 Radio Day
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
I rearranged the hall closet today but just had to snap a photo of all the Pullip boxes I've accumulated over the years. Me thinks I might have too many boxes...

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.
