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 developed some very expired 110 and 126 film for someone, and helped with a 35mm point-and-shoot, getting a new battery installed and donating and loading a fresh roll of film. I offered to develop and scan the film once she was done also. These were also brought in.
This box had one 110, one 127, and three 126's cameras; unfortunately, I told her shooting these would be difficult, since film for these would be hard to get and develop, so best to use 35mm. For the most part, I think these can go to someone who wants decorative pieces or props.

I think I needed a bit more time and agitation on this roll, and to be honest, I used Foma 400 developing time, because I think this Flic Film Ultrapan 400 is re-spooled Foma.

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.

This is my entry into the Etsy upcycleBB contest. All the cards are made from recycled materials including: found papers, magazine subscription cards, index cards, etsy seller business cards, and more! I love this, but it sold, but I'm constantly working on more. Curious? See my profile!
Two boxes I recently made. This one is made of Zebrano (aka Zebra wood) with the ribbon/handle made of walnut and maple.

"Commissioned by Bacardi, and completed in 1975, the Jewel Box is a rare example of Miami Modern architecture.
Designed by Igancio Carrera-Justiz, the Jewel Box hovers forty-seven feet above ground on Biscayne Boulevard. The colorful glass mosaic walls on all four sides of the building are based on designs by German artist Johannes Dietz. Each side depicts the rum-making process: how stalks of sugar cane are converted into molasses.
Its vibrant glamor and vivid extravagance is highlighted during the morning sun, and emphasized at night with strong, hot ceiling lights." Aimee Rubensteen
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.

Kahn's laid down to eat his dinner! I think that's a first, but he was hot and the rock was cool.
Daily Dog Challenge: Pattern/s
I love the Brindle pattern of Kahn's coat. I wonder if he was named Kahn after Shere Khan from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling (but if that's the case they spelled it differently).
Alternatively this is one of the patterns of the day: chicken frames for dinner.

An abstract interpretation of the iconic Bathing Boxes that adorned many of the seaside townships along Australia's coast line. Clayton Blake's use of concrete, abstract forms and geometric shapes is a celebration of the 1950's post war brutalist Architectural Movement.
