Here in UK, we are back in lock-down so must stay in our own area and only travel if necessary, so I'm back looking for local photo opportunities.

My local Lone Tree, less than a mile from my home. This is the first time I’ve photographed it (I’ve only lived here 44 years!).

Definitely one I’ll return to as the seasons change.

"""In the early 1500s, the first Jack-in-the-Box was made by a German clockmaker known as Claus. Claus built a wooden box, with metal edges and a handle that would pop out a cartoon devil or “Jack” after cranking the handle.

It was built as a gift for a local prince's fifth birthday. After seeing this toy, other nobles requested their own "Devils-in-a-box" for their children.

 

In the early 18th century, improved toy mechanisms made the Jack-in-the-Box more widely available for all children and not just royalty.

 

The Jack-in-the-Box has been used for centuries by cartoonists as a way to describe and poke fun at politicians.

The name Jack in the Box has also been used as the name of a fast food company, who began using the toy and the phrase as their mascot in the early 1950s."""

This is a paper folded version. I used 30x60cm duo colored Kraft paper (gold /red).

Final size: a little box 5x5x5cm, when the box is closed. When Jack pops out the height is 10cm ;-))

Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge 08/02/2025 - Twisted .

Well these bits of copper wire in different colours look rather straight for the " Twisted " challenge - however , they may be straight but each piece is made up of between two to five different coloured strands of wire . In the bottom left is part of the crank that is turned with the required number of pieces of wire and within seconds there is a twisted wire of varying colours ready for use in making jewellery , art pieces or whatever .

HMBT!

While I usually use more light than what was available, steady lighting was what was being used for the Lerro 1225 Charter night session. Pushing my camera to ISO 5000 is intense for me, but to get the speed I needed, it did the job. Making the last night pass-by, the 1225 thunders out of the dark into the light past the cleaned up Carland Elevator, creating a scene straight out of 1948.

Early 40's Dodge trucks still had the option of handcranking to start the engine. Not sure if this option carried through the war or not.
