  1. Did you know that a red telephone booth like the one in this beautiful photo is popular in my country, Bill?
    The model telephone booth is widely used as decoration in restaurant and miniature country park locations :)

    Greetings.

  5. Hello,

    The red phone boxes are famous, it seems weird to have one in a yard.
    Take care, enjoy your day!

  6. Is it still in use? Here all those phoneboxes have disappeared. Everyone has a cell phone nowadays.

    1. I doubt it still works, probably just a yard ornament.

  7. A beautiful red splash from the past, I also wonder if it is still in use...

  8. I suspect that is not used much any more. I can't even remember the last time I used a pay phone and these days you would be hard pressed to find one.

  9. I found an empty phone booth last year. So I got in and used my cell-phone.

    God bless.

  11. Classic Caption - Heading To The Recycling And Here Is Something Out Dated And Needs To Be Recycled - Great Photo Mr Bill - I Often Associate Those Red Booths With The Movie 'American Werewolf In London' - Enjoy Your Weekend And Walk On My Good Man

    Cheers

  13. Our last phone booths were mainly just a little stand on a pole, with a back of plexi-glass...not worth having as garden ornaments at all...however the earlier big black and glass booths were a bit better. But only the European red (or sometimes blue?) boxes have the glorified decorative nostalgia. US fans of Dr. Who might also love to have one in their yard.

  14. Nice comparison of phone boot and recycling. This must be a rare photo booth.

  15. Is it time to get rid of the cell phone and return to a ground line? :-) ☎

  16. Vermelha e rara, adoraria se voltasse a tê-las pelo caminho, sou ainda enraizada no passado!
    abraço.

  17. We still have some, also and years ago I "even" saw a person using it...
    Have a nice evening, Bill.

  18. We watch old episodes of "Heartbeat" every week and it is always amazing when someone comes upon one of these red phone booths way out in the middle of nowhere.

  19. Perhaps that is the Tardis and Dr. Who has just dropped by for a visit?

  20. Aquí en España ya no se utilizan, puede que en su país tampoco la utilicen y están ahora de adornos.

    Siempre me han gustado esas cabinas por su vistosidad.

  22. We've got one- minus the phone, as it's just a photo op thing- at the British High Commissioner residence.

  23. Olá querido Bill!
    No meio do vazio, é algo questionável?

  26. Bill - seems a bit out of the way ... does anyone use phone boxes any more?

    ReplyDelete
  27. What a fun find! And certainly incongruous.

  28. Good to see a telephone box as we don't see one often down here.

  29. That's a brilliant garden ornament Bill 😉

  30. I love red phone booths and this look pretty along the fence and trees and a neat home nearby!

  31. Phone booths are rare now here, in the United States, and I've always liked the looks of your phone booths better. But this one has me wondering "why is it even there?" Interesting.

  32. You would be hard pressed to find a phone booth in these parts, and while this one is colorful, it most likely is decorative vs. functional.
