These two red K6 phone boxes designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott have stood in St. Peters Square since the 1950ās. They were initially located on Library Walk, between the Library Theatre and Town Hall Extension. In 2013 they were temporally remove to be fully restored to working order and returned in 2014 to the location where they now stand; Central Library in the background. They were removed as part of plans to transform St. Peterās square. The boxes are protected after being given listed status by English Heritage. They now stand empty, phones removed, vandalised and the doors welded shut; so much for their listed status. But they are so iconic that hundreds of people still take pictures of them and are quite often used in wedding photographs; even in this poor state. As they stand today they are completely covered in stickers and look a horrible mess so I have tried to clean them up slightly in PS.
Wilbur shoots Box Canyon from the pedestrian bridge. The river below carved a narrow fissure over 180 feet deep in bedrock.
Happy Fence Friday!
Taken on my most recent visit to the National Botanic Garden of Wales, it really is a wonderful place. The building in the background is home to the restaurant/gift shop & Oriel gallery HBM!

I am slightly under the weather with a cold plus my granddaughter has been visiting for few days, so please forgive my lack of Flickr comments.

The scourge of my box hedge. I got rid of hundreds of caterpillars by hand but they still mamaged to defloiated my hedge. Arrived in the South of the UK in 2007 and have spread Northwards rapidly.
Williton railway station in Somerset was opened by the West Somerset Railway in 1862 and closed by British Rail in 1971. It was reopened in 1976 as a heritage line. The signal box, which dates from 1875, is the only Bristol and Exeter Railway one still in use. It still operates the signals and overlooks the level crossing at the south end of the station.
In this approximately 45 year old female box turtle we see vividly the dappled sunlight falling through the oak trees onto the forest floor. This animal lives in a wooded ravine between housing developments in a major metropolitan area. I hesitate to interfere with their lives even to the extent of picking one up for a photo- one must always place the creature exactly where it was found.

Apparently these are either extinct or endangered in many areas. If you see one keep it safe.

Hiking up the canyon, still in the lower part of the Box, we passed through some pretty impressive Ponderosa Pine groves along Pine Creek.
Box Tunnel passes through Box Hill on the Great Western Main Line (GWML) between Bath and Chippenham. The 1.83-mile tunnel was the world's longest railway tunnel when it was completed in 1841.
Generally speaking, male box turtles have red eyes.
The box turtle commonly lives over twenty years, with verified cases of lifespans exceeding 40 to 50 years. There have been unverified cases of box turtles living for a hundred years and more.
NEVER DISTURB, PICK UP , OR MOVE A BOX TURTLE UNLESS IT HAS A VISIBLE INJURY OR IS IN IMMINENT DANGER. If you find a turtle in the road, move it to the other side in the direction it was going. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RELOCATE IT.
Instow railway station was a railway station in the village of Instow, North Devon, England, on the Bideford Extension of the North Devon Railway. Opened in November 1855, the station closed to passengers in 1965, but the line remained open for freight until 1982. The signal box has been preserved as a working attraction. The Atlantic Coast Express used to go through the station on its way to Torrington, but it did not call at Instow.
The former site of the railway tracks is now part of the Tarka Trail.
This week's Macro Mondays group theme is Lids. I sometimes struggle to find subjects that fit the 3" rule, so I'm always happy when I can turn to miniatures. This box is just 1" long, which means the shoes are tiny. They're quite difficult to handle and I knocked them over many times (!), but I eventually ended up with this. The box and shoes are standing in front of a shabby chic chest of drawers. And, by the way, another thing I love about miniatures is that I can have lots of them without needing to move house. It's probably a good thing that I don't collect jukeboxes... :))

Boxes and paper bags are highly prized by Pearl and Sundae, but Callie, being the elder, finds them unappealing.
