Following the removal of Box2's tree, we have been wondering where to put it. There is one possibility that would not entail having to reroute the wiring, and that is to use the other birch tree in the hedge which is a few feet to the left of the one that blew down. This morning, I investigated to see if it was going to be possible as there were two complications. First there is a holly tree growing round it that would have to be significantly reduced. The other complication is that there is so much ivy growing up this birch that it will be difficult to find a clear area on which to attach the box.
After much hacking and a bit of experimentation it became clear that our first potential site would not work without having to cut back too much of the ivy, but that a slightly different location would do.
While the box was out of action, my son helped me to add some white LEDs to the lighting inside the box. Hopefully this will give better blues for the pictures we take. It also gives a more uniform lighting with less shadows.
