With the home signal in the stop position Ballater signal box awaits it's fate three years after it was last used.
I found the wooden boxes on the street in Finsbury Park a few years ago. I've had the spice bottles for years, and refill from loose or cello packs. I am slowly replacing the clear glass bottles with Taylors Mustard bottles (top shelf with the yellow lids), as and when I finish eating the mustard. (Big bottle with yellow lid is a Marmite jar.)
I buy Taylors mustard because I like the taste, but equally importantly, because it is a small company who manufacture in Cheshire. The bottles are brown (so good for spice storage) and the label comes right off with a bit of water. (So none of those industrial glues many big companies use on their products.)
Everything else is either upcycled from food purchses (such as the Lavazza coffee tin and the two green/yellow boxes which housed Japanese tofu) or purchased at second hand shops (the 60s ceramic container and 70s orange tureen which holds onions and garlic).
My soy milk maker is at the left. Fifty quid on eBay and it's saved that much already. Plus no more tetra paks which aren't recyclable. And the family who own tetra pak include the dissolute Mayfair heir who's a heroin addict and his wife who was arrested in 2008 for trying to smuggle crack into the American Embassy in London. I have NO interest in supporting rich crack heads and neither should you. Avoid tetra paks where possible. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-558569/Drugs-billionaire...
The 30 lever Saxby & Farmer (1874 Patent) 'Rocker' frame of 30 levers in Ancaster box would appear to have been second-hand as the frame dates from 1887, but the box itself opened on 1st December 1873.
Can anyone explain why some of the levers have only been painted white halfway down. Are they no longer in-use but have been kept to maintain the locking in the frame?
The former signal box closed in 1994 and was denied a dignified end as is was the victim of an arson attack.
The line to the right goes into the exchange sidings still in use today,behind the box is the former station buildings.

Minha linda Dal Fiori chegou!!! Mas não é uma simples Dal, é um presente muito especial do meu primo Carlos Henrique^^
Ele queria de algum modo fazer parte do meu hobby e me pediu para escolher uma boneca ^^ Daí entre todas que eu gostava, chamei minha mãe para me ajudar a escolher (ela e meu primo tem gostos parecidos) e quando ela viu a Fiori ela ficou encantada e soltou um "aaaaaaawn", coisa que ela NUNCA fez para as minha bonecas, então pensei, já era, é essa mesmo!!!
Vou trabalhar e a noite eu abro ela^^
Minha Dal Fiori vai se chamar Frutilly, igual o picolé dos anos 80/90! Gostinho de infância!
Some have asked what is a macro box or have wanted to see it. Well here she is. I cut out 3 sides of a 12x12x12 box and taped tissue paper to them. Cut the top and bottom flaps off. I can use the side flaps to keep in some of the light from the light on the side. I have this light from my Dragons cage. Eventually i will use a flash. (almost have enough money for that) If you want full directions for this go to

A different version of the box with the same molecule.
Triangle grid based, with 40 division grid. From a 24x24 tant square paper..
I made a necklace as a gift and needed a little box for it, so I made one with the Sizzix Candy Drawer die. Since the box is cut from mat board, it is very sturdy and formed a perfect home for the necklace. First, I adhered a piece of Graphic 45 Kraft Reflections paper to a big enough strip of mat board, using multi-medium. I smeared a bit of Salty Oceans Distress Ink on my craft sheet, misted with water and dragged a piece of watercolour paper through it. When this was dry, I adhered it to another piece of mat board in the same way. Again, when the adhesive was dry, the ‘frame’ of the box was cut from the patterned paper piece, using my Big Shot, and the two drawer parts were cut from the watercolour piece.
Before assembling the box, I stamped the blue parts randomly with a swirl stamp, using Salty Ocean ink, and stamped a sentiment on each side with Archival Ink Coffee.
The flower was made with the 3D Fringed Flower die. The flower comes in three sizes on the die, and I cut two of each size (6 flowers in total) from canvas. To colour them, I smeared Distress Stain on my craft sheet (Broken China, Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap), misted the flowers with water and then dipped them into the ink. I frayed the edges a bit and dried them with my heat gun. They were layered together with a button in the centre. TFL!

I'm loving this cold weather! This is Box Canyon Springs near Wendell, Idaho. I came here to photograph wintering bald eagles, but ended up spending all my time down in the canyon.
The old phone box in Crudwell lights up at dusk. As does the Best Western Mayfield Hotel across The Street.

The box is more of a point of sale piece but part of the crisis direct mail.
The statement has power and gets straight to the point which was intended for the target audience.
Food, A bed and shelter are all human necessities so the idea is to us peoples emotions to help them to reflect on there lives.
Shelter for you and me is a house but if you ar e homeless then all you have for shelter is a box.
The Box is intended to bee left in places where people could walk past and tear away one of the contact strips on the box.
Built by Gerstner, this Model 212 fell into my hands battered and splashed with the obligatory white latex paint. (I still don't understand why virtually every old tool box I run into has white paint stains. Has no one heard of drop cloths?)
The Story
In the summer I was lucky enough to spend 3 weeks on a Route 69 Road Trip in the USA. Part of the trip took us to The Joshua Tree National Park on the edge of which this shot was taken. In the UK we dont hve mail boxes so this was a real novelty to me and my kiddies
The Shot
3 exposure shot (-1,0,+1) from using my D200 and a Nikon 12-24mm lens handheld
Opened in Photomatix with detail enhancer set to default.
Then modified using Topaz Adjust , to increase colour and sharpness.
Saturation then boosted and areas of noise reduced.
The noise reduced with Noiseware .
Sensor dust spots and blemishes removed and frame added.
Music
