Part of an exhibit by artist Michael Walsh at the Bermuda National Gallery that reminded me of a hit by Pete Seeger. The words and music of "Little Boxes" were written by Malvina Reynolds in 1962, and it served as a protest song.
"Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same." etc.
One of Scotland's more modern but also short lived signal boxes, Hunterston Junction.
The signal box was built in 1978 to a standard Scottish Region Relay Room design with signalman's area combined. It opened with the commissioning of the short branch off the Largs line into the British Steel High Level Loading Terminal. The new facility built by British Steel allowed iron ore and coal to be rapid loaded to trains direct from conveyors at the Hunterston deep water port replacing what had previously been done at General Terminus Docks on the Clyde in Glasgow. The box opened on 2/4/1978 but initially only controlled movements within the High Level terminal complex and trains running on the 3 mile branch to and from Hunterston Low Level in conjunction with Hunterston BSC Control Tower in the port. It wasn't until 20/7/1986 that it was fully commissioned as a block post on the Largs passenger line when track rationalisation ahead of the electrification of the line resulted in adjacent boxes closing at Fairlie and Holm Junction. Hunterston Junction box ceased to function as signal box when Paisley PSB took over the route on 28//8/1992 when it was down graded to a Ground Frame. So a relatively short life of six years as a fully fledged signal box. It remained in situ controlling access to the High Level Sidings only, being manned by BR yard staff then EWS after privatisation but not in a signalling capacity. With the cessation of coal traffic in 2015 it saw a further downgrade to an unmanned relay room as the branch to the high level was mothballed.

All of the reflections & funky colors are the gardens...I took these at the doorwall and it's very sunny :)
I received a package from my friend Ashley today! I decided to share what she wrote on the box, some words, names, expressions that mean something to each of us.
I can't believe I've known her for more than a year already and that I met her randomly on the internet. And she's coming over in June/July! Can't wait!
OK, so the Red Box Project (www.flickr.com/photos/puckpics/albums/72157663674756954) is largely about the variations and situations where GPO Red Boxes and there equivalents are installed.
These may be planters in a garden center, but they are still red boxes created in homage to Sir Giles Gilbert Scott's seminal 1924 design.

Two boxes I recently made. This one is made of Zebrano (aka Zebra wood) with the ribbon/handle made of walnut and maple.
The other box is Here
When there was a lull in the fighting on the front in the war between Finland and the Soviet Union, soldiers made this kind of wooden boxes.

Minutes away from the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, Box Canyon feels like you are miles away from civilization.
At 180 feet down, Box Canyon is a deep and narrow gorge in Mount Rainier NP from which the Cowlitz River flows. The paved trail here is a little treacherous in wet weather: steep and bumpy, but plans to redo the trail are evident by the construction equipment here. Purple wildflowers were blooming where the mist was kicked up, but behind roped off areas, so I didn’t venture there. I was a little nervous taking these shots, as the best view is looking over the rain-slicked, dry rotted railing and looking straight down, but fortunately, the landscape photography gods were kind to me and I did not lose my camera gear in the abyss.

Origami box with Lucky Star molecule. The molecule can be tessellated and is based on hexagonal 8×8×8 grid.
I called it this way because I was happy about this design which I find quite elegant. Even though I have seen some similar ideas (e.g. by Alessandro Beber and Peter Keller), I wasn't able find proof of anyone creating exactly the same design before, so if it really is new, I will feel lucky to have found it. If I do learn of someone folding it before, I will still feel lucky to have reinvented it.
Update: I learned that the molecule is structurally almost the same as Day and Night Tessellation by Haligami, the only difference being how the rays of the star are locked.
A lovely gift, received this morning, from friends who live a long way away & that I haven't seen for over a year. The box contains 4 different flavours of chocolate brownies - very yummy & they can be frozen so will last for a while.

My first attempt at a really practical box. It turns out that real-life objects are big -- even something as small as a tea box takes quite a few parts to make. A typical tea bag is about 8-9 studs wide, so I scaled up the Tan Box to be 18 studs on the inside, with a divider.
