This is the King George post box set into the stone wall above Monsal Head, I think it's seen more than a few coats of paint over the years

I saw this Red Box project candidate some time ago, when diverted of the dualled section of the A23. Life gets in the way, so it had to wait.
However a trip the Park Cameras (thanks for organising the Birds Day) to buy a new tripod, and so the oportunity presented.
Form the royal cipher, it is from the time of Queen Victoria of the type where a timber, fronted by cast iron, box is built in to the host's wall.
A fine example that is quite tricky to see.
Paper: Octagon, Hexagon, Pentagon cutted from Wrapping Paper, 10 cm Square
Model: Paul Groom
I found the diagram for the triangle box in my last year's Origami Calender. After folding it, it was obvious that this works for any polygon. So I made some more. Most fun was the square box: Starting with a pentagon, just to end up with something square was kind of weird....
After Edale it was off to Earles arriving at 1050'ish.
A lovely box, it's looks spoilt by it's flat roof which like Great Rocks is the result of a fire .
Absolute block both ways again and here there's an IB section in both directions.
The box and sidings opened in 1929 with the opening of the cement works located at the end of the branch.
The narrower centres and the location of the frame in the back of the box give a clue to it's more recent heritage.
Not a lot has changed here over the years, the IB's were introduced to counteract closures of boxes at Norman's Bank (towards Edale) and Hope / Bamford. The box diagram is dated 1982 and is very little altered. A busier box than it's Grade 3 neighbors on each side it is thus a 4.
The cement works were developed by G & T Earle and thus surely the Earles should have an apostrophe but it hasn't ??
Some details of the branch and it's history here...

Earles Sidings Signal Box.
11.01 on Wednesday 6th May 2015.
A cake for a friends 50th birthday. The shoe box is 12x6 and was a challenge for me to gananche and cover. Will stick to round cakes!!
Shoe, pearls and flowers all edible- except diamante button on the bow, nylon thread through the pearls and there is a bamboo skewer in the heel of the shoe.
The attractive ex-Great Central Railway signal box that was originally at Blind Lane, Wembley. Next to it is a lamp hut that came from Whetstone, south of Leicester on the GCR.
The 'bobby' (in his hand the cloth used for pulling the levers - sweat from your hands rusts the steel) looks on as Andrew our guard (and also a signalman, Rothley stationmaster and the railways operations manager) converses with another railway employee.
Beneath the bridge, the Rothley Down section signal (the top arm) is at danger. Under that is the Swithland Down distant arm. This implies that the Swith Down home signal is at danger, although the box is actually 'switched out'. But the lower arm can't be 'off' when the top (stop) arm is 'on'. When the signalman clears his section signal for us when we return from Leicester, the lower distant arm will also rise to the 'off' position.

Brown box car, one of three I have made. The others are light gray and (not finished yet) sand green. I decided the third one will be sand green to make it cool and fashionable ;-)

It must have been a special birthday for Kings Lynn-based rail tour promoter Nigel Dobbing as West Coast Railways, the train operating company which operates his charter trains, provided a a rake of coaches including some heritage vehicles for a special private charter to celebrate the event. Of note was the use of the 'Queen of Scots' observation car positioned at the rear of the train, and the use of WCRC's recently restored 'Jubilee' No. 45699 'Galatea' to haul the train. On a grey 20th May 2013 the ensemble is seen passing Whittlesea signal box heading back from Kings Lynn to Carnforth with the empty stock off the previous days charter.

Palazzo Zenobio, Venice (Italy)
Opening: October 13th 2012, 18:00.
In a group exhibition titled Memory Box at Palazzo Zenobio in Venice I will be showing a dozen platinum prints and photogenic drawings from my shadows series.
It's about Memory - permanence and transitoriness are the two key concepts for my contribution: the platinum prints are possibly the most permanent printing technique, while the merely stabilized (not fixed) photogenic drawings are one of the most transitory ones, and they will invariably deteriorate (and finally vanish into paleness or into a black blob) while exposed to direct light during the exhibition… The photogenic drawings add some "colour" to the installation with their characteristic hues of yellow blue and purple (respectively stabilized in potassium iodide, potassium bromide and sodium chloride) - but they are short-lived… just like so many other things concerning memory…
If you are somewhere close by, please come and say hello!

The L&SWR Type 1 box at Pinhoe on the outskirts of Exeter opened c.1875. It contained an 18 lever Stevens & Sons Tappet frame and controlled the single to double line connection from here to Exeter Central, after the former L&SWR West of England main line was singled from here to Honiton in 1967. The adjacent level crossing had been converted to barriers by the date of this photo and Pinhoe box was abolished on 15th February 1988 when the area it controlled came under the control of a panel installed in Exmouth Junction box.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
Hexagonal box... Purple top folded from an 8.5 inch wide hexagon gridded in 16ths... Yellow bottom folded from an 8.5 inch square divided in 7ths... It's amazing how it works out that 1/8 * 2 / root(3) is slightly larger than 1/7, thus making the top fit the bottom snugly...
The overlap section between the top and bottom is actually an anti-prism, which means the lid actually holds quite well, and does not fall off even if turned upside-down and shaken with objects inside...
The top is a result of some of the playing around I did on the yellow sheet with the offset double-pleats... It didn't look too good tessellated, but I realized the sides could be wrapped down and turned into a box-top...
a very new box by melisande.
actually I started to fold it because the cp looks so nice and simple. I hadn't been aware of how cool the lock is. very wonderful indeed. great design, melisande!
folded from khepera bookbinding paper which was a delight.
