[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
With cellular phones having taken the market it is very hard to find a phone booth.

While driving around in a wooded area I found this old phone booth,in the middle of nowhere complete with phone book.

Don't ask me where it was as I don't have a clue. I just rely on the GPS to take me back home.

Et ils prennent même la peine de nettoyer le devant des cabines de la neige.
Superbe capture.
Bien vu
Pierre

Hi Dot,
This must have been a busy corner precellular days with the twin pay phones. Excellent colors and details to these twins that stand out nicely against the late season snow.
Regards, Tom

Cute architecture but I find this very funny as well. Also amazed that it hasn't been vandalized. A very good picture. TFS

Must be a campground, Dot -- not to many tents out in THIS snow, eh?
Fine composition, very funny capture

Hi Dot,
My guess ,it has to be located at a large campground or regional, provincial parks entrances ,obviously not the urban style found on street corners and yes i think they are going to become obsolete in the future , can't stop the progress !

Oh c'est pas jeune ça! Bien vu et bien fait Dot, il me semble reculer dans le temps, merci!

good capture with great contrasting elements:)
not everywhere cell phones work, nor everyone has one so these are convenient, I am sure:)
Jacline

Bonjour Dot
Photo intéressante et originale. C'est bien la première fois que je vois une telle cabine téléphonique. La photo est très claire et la composition très jolie.
Merci de partager

Hii, nice shot.

Bonjour Dot
Elle est vraiment charmante cette cabine téléphonique et plutôt assez originale! La lumière est parfaite et tu as bien su maitriser l'exposition sur la neige, bravo à toi!
Eric

Well, if your car broke down at that point and your cellphonebattery was empty....I'm sure you would be glad to find such a place in the middle of nowhere :}
And we can see... they still exist
Great photo
