The Copper Box Arena is 115,000 cubic metres in size – larger than the Royal Festival Hall on London’s South Bank. During the Olympic Games, it staged handball and modern pentathlon, with goalball during the Paralympic Games. It is now used as a multi-sports arena.
The top half of the venue is clad in 3,000 sq m of copper with a high recycled content, which will develop a rich natural colour as it ages. It was the first UK sports venue to be naturally lit – 88 rooftop light pipes will achieve annual energy savings of up to 40 per cent.
Construction of the 6,500 capacity venue began in July 2009 and was completed in May 2011. This photograph of the completed venue was taken on 5 July 2012, three weeks before the start of the Olympic Games.

Thorpes Bridge Junction signal box, Manchester with Peter. Bank Holiday Monday 31 August 1987
Photograph copyright: Ian 10B. Slide No.9119
Handmade from fabric and chipboard, and designed to hopefully last a long time! The corners are both machine sewn and glued, and I made 8 dividers to fit. Took me a little time to make this one, as the box was custom built to size, but I love the way it turned out!
An old wooden box my great-grandmother gave me. The lock is broken and the key is lost, but I think it's beautiful <3
Thai Police Box with Air Con ! This is one of the standard small ones.mostly too be found at major road junctions.You can control the traffic lights from this box.
Others can be a lot bigger.This is a new box The old one was just like a bus shelter !!! With a number of seats,For miscreants to wait. Usually people with no crash helmets. Fine payable at the local police station 300 baht about six pounds, You are only fined once a day.So you are free to ride without one for the rest of the day !!! Though they make you wait to pay the fine as extra punishment.
Some of these boxes are sponsored by companies.With the companies logo every where. And hard to tell that they are police boxes.Especially when there are no police in attendance.Some are outrageously decorated for want of a better word. The chair belongs to the police box.Thats for his friends to sit on when going past.
Mind you bear in mind it`s very hot and humid.
As an aside the uniforms are changing to a different type.At the moment they are very military looking with the crash helmets ,big boots and tight trousers.
But it`s being changed to standard dress.to promote a more friendly appearance.
Ha! Ha! Ha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Walking around Hampstead i noticed this old wall post box there are still a few left in London that are still being used in this age of high technology. This one is probably from the Victiorian era so they are still in competition with the internet email I wonder when their day is up I can't see this model on the following link so I only guess it is Victorian. www.norvic-philatelics.co.uk/2009/images/090818_postbox_s...
I have since come back to this description and I have now noticed that at the top of this post box there is a V space R that must stand for victoria regina.

I dont know what happened to me but my imagination has been so weak for a while. I couldnt come up with any design and I was getting anxious!
My client requested a mum/nurse/ girlie cake, how could I combine all that into a cake? I thought of a box full of nursing stuff and children's toys (well not exatly reality but..) so I decided to make a girlie box with children and nurse stuff in it!
This was a last minute design! I cant even believe that I did all that in 4 hours!
I hope my client is happy with the finished product :)

My father-in-law made this little jewelry box for my wife.
Each year, Gallery Route One in Point Reyes invites over a hundred artists to create unique works of art using a wooden box.
Here are the inspiring artworks they created this year: they range in style from whimsical to poignant and thought-provoking. These photos were taken on closing day, when the gallery organized a live auction for each of this year’s 150 boxes. The proceeds support the gallery’s exhibits and community programs.
Two of the boxes were created by members of our art community: Howard Rheingold (a.k.a. Dr. Rindbrain) contributed an illuminated box called ‘Magical’, while Geo Monley and Meryl Rubenstein made ‘Les Puzzles.’
Members of ‘Pataphysical Studios came to cheer for their peers -- Dr. Really was the highest bidder for Dr. Rindbrain’s piece, which was thus kept in the family. After the show, we all went to Stellina to celebrate over a nice dinner.

Wansford Signal Box is just outside Wansford Station. It was built in 1907 by the London & North Western Railway and is one of the largest preserved signal box in its original location.
The signal box and the railway are part of the Nene Valley Railway who where hosting their Annual Autumn Steam Gala while I was there. In my photograph you may have noticed LNER A4 Gresley Pacific 4-6-2 No.60009 Union Of South Africa running tender first around the loop before the locomotive begins her duties for the day.
I captured this image with my Panasonic G7 on the 16th September 2017.
A commentary on gender issues, the Box Project is meant to reflect a woman's feelings of insecurity regarding her body under the scrutiny of a sexually-charged world. The world I live in, the world of twenty-somethings and college parties, has caused me to want to hide my body at times, a body that I am normally very comfortable in and proud of. The models portrayed are passive, so as to let the box speak for itself, and are placed in both public and private places, a nod to the idea that we should feel safe and at home in our bodies no matter where we are.
Home-made toy rabbit family.
They have wire armatures, padded and covered with bits of old cotton stocking, with leather ears and embroidered features. They are nicely dressed in scraps of cotton fabric and I think they probably date from the 1940s.

This is a "pill box" on Aberdeen beach, left behind from the Second World War. Soldiers would keep a watch out for the invaders. Over the years the boxes have moved... further along the beach, some are still in the dunes, on the grass. Most are at funny angles. This is the fourth or fifth one to the North from the River Don. At low-tide, more are visible, as well as concrete blocks to hinder any landing tanks.
This photo has been converted to b/w, the contrast and brightness increased significantly and then coloured adding a bit of red, half the amount of green and subtracting the green amount from the blue to give an extreme sepia look.
Taken 25/02/15; The signal box is still standing, but I understand it was taken out of use on the weekend of 14th/15th February 2015.
Brigham City is a city in Box Elder County, Utah, United States. The population was 17,899 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Box Elder County. It lies on the western slope of the Wellsville Mountains, a branch of the Wasatch Range at the western terminus of Box Elder Canyon. Brigham City saw most of its growth during the 1950s and 1960s, but has seen a struggling economy and stagnating growth since then. It is near the headquarters of ATK Thiokol, the company that created the solid rocket boosters for the Space Shuttle.
Brigham City is known for its peaches and holds an annual celebration called Peach Days on the weekend after Labor Day. Much of Main Street is closed off to cars, and the festival is celebrated by a parade, a car show, a carnival, and other activities. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) dedicated its fourteenth temple in Utah in Brigham City on 23 September 2012.
The city is the headquarters of the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation, a federally recognized tribe of Shoshone people.
Mormon pioneer William Davis first explored the Brigham City area in 1850. He returned with his family and others a year later to create permanent homes. Brigham Young directed Lorenzo Snow to create a self-sufficient city at the site in 1853. Snow directed both religious and political affairs in the settlement, eventually naming it Box Elder in 1855. Brigham Young gave his last public sermon there in 1877 shortly before his death, and the name of the town was changed to Brigham City after the church president. In 1864, the cooperative movement began in earnest with the creation of a mercantile co-op store and was an important element of the United Order of Enoch. Other industries were added, and the Brigham City Co-op is widely recognized as the most successful of the Mormon Co-op ventures. Economic hardships brought an end to the Co-op in 1895, though the Co-op had first started selling businesses off in 1876.
Despite layoffs over the past decade, much of Brigham City's economy relies on Thiokol, the creator of many missiles, as well as the solid rocket booster for the Space Shuttle. Additionally, the local Autoliv (formerly a part of Thiokol) airbag plants also net Brigham City many jobs. The addition of a Walmart distribution center in nearby Corinne has also brought new jobs.

The hinged lid can be adjusted to various degrees in relation to the base. The base is adjusted via the tripod head. So it could be tilted back almost flat for water color.
