Wow. Unbelievable an actual working red phone box that hasn’t been converted into a charity book exchange; felt like going back in time. Made a call (60p) just for the hell of it.

An interesting look at ‘The surprising second life of those boxes that used to hold free newspapers’.

This ^ reminds me of the re-use of 📞 #PhoneBoxes in the UK that have been turned into #Libraries, #Defibrillator stations, etc. 🤔

Waiting for the Call

I remember that on this occasion I was sitting in the car in a Tim Horton's parking lot near Halifax airport, waiting for @stevenkennard to text to tell me he had landed and I could go to pick him up. It was raining and misty and rather eerie with the light coming from these two phone booths. The call did come.
Enjoy your Monday, friends.

Never a phone when you want one…

I guess if you're in London, you probably won't have much trouble finding a public phone. A group of them stood here, wherever it is. Empty and alone.
Meanwhile, traffic passes in the background, casting eerie light trails through the photo.
