Often see a variety of species using the many Swallow boxes at Willband Creek Park for a perching spot. Here a Red-winged Blackbird is perched. Willband Creek Park, Abbotsford, B.C.
The Common Box Turtle isn't as common today as it once was. This species is terrestrial. Habitat loss and fragmentation has resulted in it being considered a species of concern in Ohio. Many have been killed by vehicles while crossing roadways. Decades ago I might see two dozen of these turtles in a single day. Now I'm lucky if I see one every year or two.
Just down the road from my house, one can find this unusual pillar box. Indeed this example explains why it is that pillar boxes are called pillar boxes, because this one clearly thinks that it really is a pillar, with its fluted, gently sloping sides. Other features, unique in my limited experience of these objects, are the vertical rather than horizontal letter slot, and the door for emptying it sited on the opposite side from he slot. In fact the door opens into the road, which must make the postman's job an adrenaline-filled one.

This box is decorated with a tessellation molecule representing the letter Z. Though it may not be obvious from its looks, this design is closely related to the Woven Triangles family. It uses an 8×8 grid for the molecule (12×12 for the whole box). Folding it from the grid
is relatively challenging due to a closed sink used for creating the diagonal stroke. Folding cleanly from a precrease without the grid comes with its own challenges, as usual. On the back of the molecule, an interesting pattern of two triangles emerges.

Australian Raven, largest raven in the world
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.

68020 sweeps through Dalwhinnie working the return Inverness intermodal, the only working that eluded me in the sunshine last week, not that I am complaining!
Haven't done a letterbox for a while! If I remember rightly, this is one in the back streets of White Patch on Bribie Island, Queensland and, unusual for this area where a man crafts many out of old gas cylinders, this is made from scratch by the look of it.

Giving Darktable Photo Editing Program another go. Considering it is an open source program thus no payment required it works well. Lacking the Ai features that Adobe has though.

I developed some very expired 110 and 126 film for someone, and helped with a 35mm point-and-shoot, getting a new battery installed and donating and loading a fresh roll of film. I offered to develop and scan the film once she was done also. These were also brought in.
This box had one 110, one 127, and three 126's cameras; unfortunately, I told her shooting these would be difficult, since film for these would be hard to get and develop, so best to use 35mm. For the most part, I think these can go to someone who wants decorative pieces or props.

I think I needed a bit more time and agitation on this roll, and to be honest, I used Foma 400 developing time, because I think this Flic Film Ultrapan 400 is re-spooled Foma.
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
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.
"Commissioned by Bacardi, and completed in 1975, the Jewel Box is a rare example of Miami Modern architecture.
Designed by Igancio Carrera-Justiz, the Jewel Box hovers forty-seven feet above ground on Biscayne Boulevard. The colorful glass mosaic walls on all four sides of the building are based on designs by German artist Johannes Dietz. Each side depicts the rum-making process: how stalks of sugar cane are converted into molasses.
Its vibrant glamor and vivid extravagance is highlighted during the morning sun, and emphasized at night with strong, hot ceiling lights." Aimee Rubensteen
