Another quintessentially English icon under threat of extinction.
The number of telephone boxes around the streets has decreased by more than 1/3. I guess the use of cell phones being the major contributor to their demise.
This one is one of the more charming designs. A K2 I think (can a UK expert let me know). The more recent K8 design with big glass doors may be more functional but not nearly as lovely to look at.

I still love red phone boxes. We so have them here. The new ones just aren't the same. The red is such a magnificent rich colour, smae as the post boxes. You may be photogrpahing history here.
Great job on this photo. I love the way you framed it with the decorated building in background.
It's a shame such an icon is disappearing! Great composition!
I didn't realise that phone box designs were named like that. I'm always learning :)
I absolutely love this shot. It covers two things I love very much: the UK and Christmas. Well-captured! You have an excellent eye.
Hi Mo, What a beautiful shot!!! I love the old red telephone boxes. Here in my village they took away last one standing about a year ago. There is still one in a tiny village nearby and the villagers defend it with all their might. Ciao. Antonella
I see that and think of Dr. Who. :)
