Day 55 - Broken Things
This box did hold some unwanted tiles, which the OH had left outside his shed ... most of the tiles are now on the ground.
These two vintage cameras have recently joined my rapidly expanding collection. The one on the left (a Kodak Six-20 'Brownie' E) was made between 1947 and 1953. The one on the right (an Ensign ‘All-distance Twenty’) was made between 1922 and 1932. It's incredible to think it might be nearly 100 years old and yet it's survived in near mint condition. I'm not sure it was ever used.

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
Another photo from the Chapel Hill Camera Club light box workshop. I placed one of my colorful ornaments on top of the open rose petals.

One of Scotland's more modern but also short lived signal boxes, Hunterston Junction.
The signal box was built in 1978 to a standard Scottish Region Relay Room design with signalman's area combined. It opened with the commissioning of the short branch off the Largs line into the British Steel High Level Loading Terminal. The new facility built by British Steel allowed iron ore and coal to be rapid loaded to trains direct from conveyors at the Hunterston deep water port replacing what had previously been done at General Terminus Docks on the Clyde in Glasgow. The box opened on 2/4/1978 but initially only controlled movements within the High Level terminal complex and trains running on the 3 mile branch to and from Hunterston Low Level in conjunction with Hunterston BSC Control Tower in the port. It wasn't until 20/7/1986 that it was fully commissioned as a block post on the Largs passenger line when track rationalisation ahead of the electrification of the line resulted in adjacent boxes closing at Fairlie and Holm Junction. Hunterston Junction box ceased to function as signal box when Paisley PSB took over the route on 28//8/1992 when it was down graded to a Ground Frame. So a relatively short life of six years as a fully fledged signal box. It remained in situ controlling access to the High Level Sidings only, being manned by BR yard staff then EWS after privatisation but not in a signalling capacity. With the cessation of coal traffic in 2015 it saw a further downgrade to an unmanned relay room as the branch to the high level was mothballed.
Another image for my current project photographing people inside a box and then outside. This is Pixie.

I'd had an Amazon delivery and the box was on the floor by my feet. Max decided to investigate, so I picked up the camera.
First he took out the packing paper, pushed the box upright, went round and round - head first, bottom first, tail in, tail out, until at last he sat up tall and proud!
"I did it!!" lol
Leica M3 DS, 50mm Summarit 1.5, 90mm Elmar 4, 135mm Hecktor 4.5 and various accessories all snug as a bug, in a fantastic leather case...
Part of an exhibit by artist Michael Walsh at the Bermuda National Gallery that reminded me of a hit by Pete Seeger. The words and music of "Little Boxes" were written by Malvina Reynolds in 1962, and it served as a protest song.

All of the reflections & funky colors are the gardens...I took these at the doorwall and it's very sunny :)
Two boxes I recently made. This one is made of Zebrano (aka Zebra wood) with the ribbon/handle made of walnut and maple.
The other box is Here
When there was a lull in the fighting on the front in the war between Finland and the Soviet Union, soldiers made this kind of wooden boxes.
A timeless railway scene at Uffington & Barnack signal box, with a cast-iron 'Beware of Trains' sign to boot!
