  16. Payphones used to be ubiquitous here, too, but one can't find them now. Kind of makes me sad . . . Blessings, Bill!

  17. I try to photograph one of these when ever I see one, and there aren't many around any more. Pay phones are so 20th Century.

  20. In quite a few towns and viellages in this country, telephone boxes have been converted into public bookcases where anyone can help themselves to books and also make books they have read available to the general public.
