My latest work: 3 box shelves turned into shadow box assemglages. I collaged the back and attached it to box shelves, then added shells. A nice way to welcome the warm days ahead.
The bottom box is the last one I have left, available in my etsy shop.
A view of the signals and signal boxes looking north from Leicester station. It doesn't look like this any more!

A further box visit back in October 2015 was Ulceby Signal Box.
Ulceby had evolved to cover quite a significant area compared with its original area. It had a reduced frame and an IFS panel. There was also room for a panel to cover Brocklesby but this never happened.
Sadly the box was demolished with undue haste following closure, before the local S&T even had time to recover equipment for spares, the box coming down with everything still in place.
One of the new signals can be seen, ready for York ROC to take over.
We have some Irish friends, who think Cape Cod is just about all right, particularly Provincetown. We are much of their opinion. But they never go there without being entirely grossed out by all the salt water taffy. Taffy, pronounced with an aggressively flat æ digraph, is a soft, sticky candy that is always sold wrapped up in a twist of wax paper, to protect it, presumably, from the moist sea air. I haven't been anywhere, on either coast, where it isn't made and sold as a necessary part of the shore experience. I don't think the tourists would ever go home, if it wasn't for this stuff, ripping out their fillings.
I sometimes think that our Irish friends take exception to the pronunciation of the word, perhaps thinking it's a Yankee mangling of the insular English word, toffee. Indeed, we have toffee, too, but it's a different animal, entirely. Maybe they resent the use of a word that is a tribal slur in England for the Welsh. Hard to say. They might not have a taste for it. I mean, they actually eat and enjoy Turkish delight, which is just nasty.
Oh, yes, this box suggests a piece of salt water taffy to me. I'm highly impressionable and maybe a little impressionistic.

Japan is the only Asian country which manufacture high end mechanical winding music box.
These damn things have always fascinate me. It's interesting to see how the pins on the cylinder pluck the tuned comb as it rotates sounding out the beautifully resonant notes.
By arranging the pins and fashioning the comb teeth to reproduce specific notations in the musical scale it could made to produce an endless array of tunes very much like a mechanical piano. Brilliant idea. These are the great grand father of the record player and CD player.
Another design is by using a rotating disc with specifically cut hooks which strike a star wheel to produce the required musical tones. Both design are mechanical marvels.
I love them all

And this is only one box!
A lovely Topper Made by persons unknown decorated the post-box outside the Post Office in Swanage, Dorset.
In our last installment of "The Box", Phillip exaggerated himself and Marble off of the Empire State Building by stating the exaggeration "Our house is made of gingerbread" and so it was.
"AWWWWWWWW!" screamed both Marble and Phillip.
"Muahahahaha!" chanted the ants.
"Marble, I am not that hungry anymore."
"You know what we need to do Phillip."
And they both chanted the exaggeration, "We are stuck in a box, we are stuck in a box."
"Don't forget with a llama named Greg," reminded Phillip.
And so it was, both Marble, Phillip and Greg the llama found themselves still stuck in the box.
Another room full of boxes after my move. The monitor is not in a box because the box it had been in was all bashed and I took it out to make sure it wasn't broken. It was fine.

Cats come frome space 10.000 years ago in box shaped quantum spaceship that move in space-time.
they arrive on earth, but something goes wrong and they can't return home.
century passes and they lost the galactic knowledge, they forgot that are astronauts.
but every time that a cat see a box, he must jump into. maybe it will be the box that bring back to home.
Shrewsbury station and signal box seen
the Lea Valley Railway Club "Ffestiniog Orbital" railtour going round the Abbey Foregate curve.
This tour ran from Euston to Wolverhampton where the tour split. Half the tour got on DMUs down the Cambrian to Pwllheli and back to Porthmadog followed by the Ffestiniog railway to Blaenau Ffestiniog and 40122 back to Stafford. The other half of the tour did the same circle in the opposite direction.

“There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, "Yes, I've got dreams, of course I've got dreams." Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it, and yep, they're still there." Erma Bombeck

Bloody zombies!!;) The zombies are naturally game characters and you can actually buy them. If you noticed, I set up a basic site which will be my new playground to push any game art (mostly characters...) to be used by anyone... and yes, it's little, a side project and more shit is coming up...

This cigar box was reborn as the Luminescent Lizard Box. I used a fused Dichroic glass tile made by Teri Sokoloff as the focal. The sides are adorned with Van Gogh glass, iridescent black glass, mini tiles and glitter tiles.
As promised I tried Rollei RPX 25 in the Box. The light at noon was really harsh. Unfortunately I still did not have my tripod with me so 3 out of 8 negatives became "motion" pictures :). I have checked the auxiliary lenses of my Box Tengor and they are not as nice as the front lens. I will have to find out how to remove them for a cleaning attempt. Actually the pictures did not show any problem... The Rollei RPX 25 became underexposed at f22 and just about right at f16 - despite the clear sky and direct sunlight. No problem: learning, learning, learning... I can perfectly understand why these boxes became so popular in their time (and actually scaled up film production).

The shipping geniuses at Beckman Coulter sent this box. Note the "prevent back injury" and "bend knees to lift" markings. The box seemed much too light to cause back injury. Indeed, inside was only the sheet of paper with directions for the product shipped previously in a bigger, heavier box. Plus crumpled packing paper, to protect the printed paper from, um, shock and impact. Not only could they have e-mailed the instructions, they've sent zillions of copies over the years, and I hardly need another copy. This is the same company that has a history of not padding the shipments of glass bottles of toxic, flammable, expensive solvents adequately, resulting in breakage. But the sheet of paper is well packed.
A different version of the box with the same molecule.

The Rimei is nearly identical to the Linden series of box cameras. With the exception of the added face plate and a red-colored hammertone finish (instead of black), in every other way, it's a dead ringer for the Linden "Lindi 6.6".
Sylvain Halgand has a close variant of this one with a slightly different nameplate, echoing the look of Braun's "Nimco" -
a "Rimei Box" made for Rimco (!):
(trans. by Pierre Yves Petit)
"This 6x6cm box is covered in red paint. It has instant and bulb settings, pseudo twin-lens-reflex framing. There is no LINDEN brand since this camera was made for a large retailer.
LINDEN put on the front plate a pattern that is also found on BRAUN cameras; the names RIMEI and RIMCO are close to Braun’s NIMCO. All of this accounts for LINDEN being one of Braun’s supplier – a supplier with some room for “creativity”. These industrial connexions and the retailers distribution system easily explain resemblances that have nothing to do with chance."
