I’ve never struck a ringing phone box, except on Amelie. You can’t ring them because they have letters as well as numbers – but then this isn’t Scotland. Yes, I was wondering about the lean and maybe a wide-angle lens – love the way everything leans – bikes as well! Lone red looks great in a photo. Knock knock Who’s there? Doctor. Doctor Who? (groan)
I’ve haven’t used one for years, but I’ve sheltered in them to make cellphone calls on noisy streets :)) I’ll never go to heaven now…I love the look of them, they’re reassuring in some way :)) This one I think had been attacked by a gang of moles…repeatedly headbutting the underneath, trying to knock it over!!!——bloody vandals

Hello…… nobodies there!
And Jen – Dr. Who had a POLICE BOX not a Telephone box – how many times I gotta tell ya that???? : P
Awesome shot – was the box really leaning – or is that just because of the angle of the photo?
Thanks Tamme :))
Its a bit of both, but more leaning than wide angle…ish
