  • The phone box featured in the 1945 film 'I know where I'm Going' at Carsaig Bay, Isle of Mull, Scotland.

The famous red phone box at Carsaig was saved by movie fans (you can dial its number +44 (0)1681-704203). In danger of being removed due to lack of use it is now just used by hikers unable to obtain a mobile (cell) phone signal. Fans of the movie rescued the iconic phone kiosk from crumbling. Visited by film buffs, the kiosk now has Historic Scotland list B status because of its part on screen. And during a pilgrimage to celebrate the Powell and Pressburger film’s 65th anniversary, fans noticed that the box was in a poor condition.

  • Brutalist concrete architecture of New Street Station Signal Box in Birmingham, United Kingdom. New Street Station has been at the centre of public attention in recent times, with its extensive redevelopment works in full swing. However, at the heart of it, and often overlooked, sits the Grade II listed signal box on Navigation Street, which houses the centre of all rail operations of the station. The corrugated concrete Brutalist structure may polarise public opinion, but is actually home of one of the city’s most vital and intense infrastructure systems, serving the busiest rail interchange in the UK. Brutalist architecture is a movement in architecture that flourished from the 1950s to the mid-1970s, descending from the modernist architectural movement of the early 20th century.

  • A Securicor guard delivers a cash box to a City of London bank. Walking quickly to avoid delays in the street, the employee of this security company carries the secure box wearing protective helmet in case of an armed robbery - his most vulnerable body area being the head and neck.

  • A nesting box for the Common Goldeneye, a medium-sized diving duck, on the banks of Lake Inari, Finnish Lapland. Like other waterfowl, the goldeneye has had an important role in providing nutrition for people of northern Finland. The birds naturally nest in a tree cavity but will readily use nestboxes and this used to be the traditional way of collecting eggs of waterfowl throughout Lapland. The custom was based on the fact that when you remove only some of the eggs from the nest, the female would lay more eggs to replace the lost ones. The eggs were traditionally cooked in hot ash and eaten hardboiled. Collecting Common Goldeneye eggs is no longer officially permitted.

  • In light monsoonal rain, a lone pedestrian is seen from a high viewpoint, crossing a zebra crossing with a yellow grid box junction to his right in Central Hong Kong on the last day of British rule. The junction is empty and without any traffic but the word 'Look' is stencilled in white letters for the benefit of unwary pedestrians. An umbrella used by the unrecognisable person is a colour match with the painted striped road markings, identical to the British highway traffic code. The transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), often referred to as "The Handover" occurred at midnight on June 30, 1997, signifying the end of British rule, and the transfer of legal and financial authority back to China. Hong Kong was once known as 'fragrant harbour' (or Heung Keung) because of the smell of transported sandal wood.

  • A nesting box for the Common Goldeneye, a medium-sized diving duck, on the banks of Lake Inari, Finnish Lapland. Like other waterfowl, the goldeneye has had an important role in providing nutrition for people of northern Finland. The birds naturally nest in a tree cavity but will readily use nestboxes and this used to be the traditional way of collecting eggs of waterfowl throughout Lapland. The custom was based on the fact that when you remove only some of the eggs from the nest, the female would lay more eggs to replace the lost ones. The eggs were traditionally cooked in hot ash and eaten hardboiled. Collecting Common Goldeneye eggs is no longer officially permitted.
