Dry Creek Trail to Box Elder Trail; Lone Peak Wilderness, Utah; September 2017
I've enjoyed winter. I've enjoyed the desert. But I'm starting to get excited at the thought of more summer-like hiking returning. I can't wait to be in the high places again.
We had a man come into health class a little while ago to talk to us about depression and we watched a video. Over and over again people were saying it felt like they were in a box, that what they were feeling and thinking trapped them inside of themselves and they just didn't have the willpower to get out. I think a lot of times we can isolate ourselves just because of us and that's kind of what this photo was supposed to represent. I was really hoping to work with form in a space since it was just me to take photos of and then I saw this graffiti wall with a window and the natural light just kind of made everything have a soft glow, and it came together:)
The digit “7” on this box’s lid is a tessellation molecule, derived from the one on Z-Box. Hiding one of the horizontal bars sounded like a simple enough exercise, but proved to be more difficult than I expected. Still, the end result is pretty neat, and rotated upside-down, the character can also double as the letter “L”.
The Kouzo-Bokashi Four Seasons washi I used looks beautiful, but was too thin for a box, making the finished model rather fragile.
The second private former Post Office lamp post box I've seen out and about in Yateley. This one's black, just round the corner from the pink one....
A small collection of boxes from this dream abandoned location.

These electrical distribution boxes are an eyesore in most of Taiwan, but in the Nangang district of Taipei, they look amazing!
What's better than an empty box? How about an empty box inside and empty box? I had intended to break these down for the recycle bin, but Natasha seems to have a use for them.
The Cumbrian coast route south of Whitehaven is a fine outpost of traditional railway operation with signal boxes, semaphores and manually operated crossing gates.
Lifting barriers are a concession to modernity at St Bees station. The 1891 Furness Railway built signal box controlled one of a few crossing loops on the single-line section between Sellafield and Whitehaven. The signalman still has to provide a token to the driver of the passing trains.

This was on the inside flap of a reasonably (12x14x4) small box we got a few books in from Amazon. It was quite strange but also quite amusing to find. I guess it's for cats?
This bento was packed for my 2.5 year old in case she wouldn't eat any food from the buffet at a family birthday party. (She wouldn't...not that she ate much of the bento either...)
Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday everyone! Gonocerus acuteangulatus is a herbivorous species of true bug in the family Coreidae. It is commonly known as the Box Bug in the UK as it once only occurred in Box Hill in Surrey where it fed on box trees. Having expanded its range it now occurs widely in the south-east of England and beyond. It is exploiting different foodplants, and has been found on hawthorn, buckthorn, yew and plum trees. I most usually find it on Dog Roses, but on this occasion it was a bramble!
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. This design uses the first clip hinge pattern

One of my favourite photos of Southport Chapel Street box (& station).
Taken from the disused & lifted carriage sidings.
Before resignalling Southport just oozed with signalling character, (Now sadly lost & just a memory)
Just east of Elgin on the A96 is Automobile Association box no. 714 name "Threapland"
( Thanks to Jeff Wharton for AA man photo and Piepjemiffy for background photo of Box number 714 and vintage Vauxhall 14 from about 1947 )
Found this guy trying to get over a log during my short river hike. Shot using the 105 macro in live-view mode! Difficult shot to get, only one turned out sharp.
I suddenly realised that a lot of 'younger' togs would possibly not know of a Box Brownie... It was a very low cost Eastman Kodak camera that revolutionised the taking of photos by 'The masses'..
Box-leaved Wattle (Acacia buxifolia). Saw so many of these splendid wattles along the Cox’s river! [Central Tablelands, NSW]
An antique dealer friend of mine gave these to me today. Quite a few model parts, decals and brochures are still in the boxes. The Chevy truck is built and complete.
A box turtle soaks in a pool in an ephemeral streambed in the bottom of a steephead ravine feeding the Apalachicola River. Box turtles in this area are extremely variable, exhibiting characters from both eastern box turtles and Gulf Coast box turtles.
A box office or ticket office is a place where tickets are sold to the public for admission to an event. Patrons may perform the transaction at a countertop, through a hole in a wall or window, or at a wicket. By extension, the term is frequently used, especially in the context of the film industry, as a synonym for the amount of business a particular production, such as a film or theatre show, receives.
Box office business can be measured in the terms of the number of tickets sold or the amount of money raised by ticket sales (revenue). The projection and analysis of these earnings is very important for the creative industries and often a source of interest for fans. This is predominant in the Hollywood movie industry.
This Box Office is in the Dome Cinema, Worthing, West Sussex, England, and is a grade II* listed building owned by PDJ Cinemas Ltd. The Dome Cinema, which has three screens and a Projectionist's Bar is run by PDJ Cinemas, while Alfresco Services run two function rooms and the cafe at the front of the building. It has closed for refurbishment several times, most recently between December 2005 and July 2007. The name derives from the distinctive dome on top of a three-storey tower over the entrance.
The Dome is an Edwardian building and one of the oldest working cinemas in England, and was opened in 1911 (Brighton's Duke of York's Picture House was opened in 1910). It was opened by Swiss impresario Carl Adolf Seebold. It was originally named The Kursaal — a German word translating as "cure hall". The Kursaal was used as a health centre and entertainment complex by visitors to the seaside town. At the time it contained the Coronation Hall, which was used for roller skating, exhibitions, concerts and events, and the Electric Theatre, the first cinema run for paying audiences in West Sussex.
Following the outbreak of World War I leading residents of the town objected to the German name and after a competition with a prize of £1, the Cinema was renamed "The Dome".
After the end of World War II the Dome went into a steady decline due to heavy competition. In 1949 Seebold restructured his company and remarried. He continued to run the new business, The Rivoli and Dome Ltd, until his death in 1951.[7] By 1955 the Dome was badly out of date and required a refit. The new owners hired architects Goldsmith and Pennells to install a new cinemascope screen. Although the rise of television and sharing the area with four other cinemas must have added financial pressure, the Dome survived to see its sister cinema, The Rivoli, burn down in 1960.
Since the reopening in 2007, The Dome Cinema has continued to run as a successful, fully independent cinema (run entirely separately to the Worthing Borough Council owned Connaught Theatre). The projection ran on two 35mm Cinemeccanica projectors (a Victoria 8 in Screen 1 and a Victoria 5 in Screen 2) until October & November 2012, when both screens were converted to fully digital. Screen 1 now runs on a NEC 2000C, Screen 2 on a NEC 1200C and Screen 3 runs a Barco DP2K-6E. The last 35mm film played in Screen 1 was Looper, and the first digital film was Skyfall. The Victoria 8 Cinemeccanica projector from Screen 1 is now on display in their Projectionist's Bar.
Before adding a third screen in 2018, the Dome was one of the busiest 2 screen cinemas in the country.
The cinema runs a range of different shows for the local area. Currently running are Weekend Morning Movies, Parent & Baby Screenings, Autistic Screenings, Disability Screenings, Midweek Matinees and subtitled screenings. They also run occasional live broadcasts.

Ever since I can remember I have photographed odd bits of detritus like this — old fences, door handles and hinges, electrical boxes, anything that has the worn patina of age, rust, and weathering. The first time I recall doing this I must have been in middle school or early high school — I went around the back side of my parents’ house and found an old wooden fence with a chain lock, made photographs, and then black and white prints.
On the day I made this photograph we were at the location of a very large garden, with the plan being to photograph spring flowers and foliage. We certainly did that, but I’m easily distracted by things like this, and I came back with this photograph along with others of old signs, door knobs, windows, and similar non-garden stuff.
