The no-frills hotel in the background overlooks the wide spaces of this ground that was set aside for burials. Slipping through a gap in the fence the names on the markers rise up one after another; so many lives that began with conception by accident or on purpose and than ran a particular course that finished with this spot for eternity. But few things of the living, seismically active earth are truly for eternity. By putting an endearment or part of a valued Bible verse in bronze or in granite, there is a suggestion that the matter of one’s life is put to final rest. But then long after descendants have forgotten the person and the place and the stories pertaining to that life, those same words may ring hollow or seem dull platitudes. For the moment of early spring afternoon light captured by the camera shutter, though, the boxes for the living to keep their stuff in and the boxes for the dead to keep themselves in rest adjacent to each other.

Box turtles are one of the most difficult reptiles to find when they are in the mood to hide--which is most of the time. Western, MA
Based on rate changes, this stamp keeper box dates from sometime between 1963 and 1968. I think it was probably a promotional item based on the small "National Chemsearch" text on the front of the box. It was definitely designed for desktop storage. The lid hinges up to reveal four compartments for holding stamps and a rate guide on the inside of the lid.
Not made of ticky-tacky, cardboard.
I obviously didn't do very well with photography this week.

Photographed in 1975. Exact location isn't known for sure (the corrugated iron hoadings in the background are a bit of a mystery), but its possibly the stone masons on Box Hill again (or certainly one of the other stone masons nearby). At the time, all the stone masons around the local area were producing fine examples of stonework similar to this. Again Peter Woodgate is featured posing next to this piece of elaborate stonework.
This telephone box, with no phone or anything, made a spooky impact on me. Made me think of science fiction movies. A time machine? The box used in Matrix?

This is why they call it Box Canyon. The actual trail goes around it on the right but this is far as you go in this part of the canyon.This would be quite impressive in a summer thunderstorm and in good winters it likely has some waterflow.The historical marker is above here just off the road and if you click on the Scissors Crossing geolocator on the right you can read what it says.
This sealed box was at the Butlins resort in Minehead. As can be seen the aperture has a steel plate over it - but someone (not me!) has bent the plate at the side. I posted a card in this box to myself on the day I took this photo on Easter Saturday 23 April 2011. I received the card on Saturday 2 June 2012 :)
