One of my favourite things

 

Traffic signal box painted to look like a parcel wrapped in brown paper and string.

Location: Eglington Avenue and Kennedy Road
Date photo taken: 27 February 2017
Image #15 in the Traffic Signal Box Series

I love the treatment Margaret Cresswell gave this traffic signal box as part of the Outside the Box project in 2015. It's simple but thanks to that delightful earworm of a song, strikes me as both whimsical and full of possibility. When I was scrolling through my photos, this one just jumped out at me. These days I can't leave my apartment without seeing boxes in the hallway, scattered around the lobby, and overflowing from the mailroom. None however are tied up with string.
