  1. They look horrible. Over here, very few people still use phone booths.

  4. We don't have any more phone phoots here in Finland for a years, so that's why I like these. They are "ancient monuments" :)

  5. I guess they aren't still in use, are they?

  6. I'm surprised to see phone booths, never mind the weeds. I wonder if they are in operating order.

    Re your comment: I wouldn't be surprised if people take up swords. Guns don't seem to be enough these days. :)

  11. Definitely not well taken care of. The phones are very different from what we see here, and booths are a rarity. One's more likely to see the odd payphone in office towers or malls as opposed to out on the streets.

  12. I hope they stay there a long time, as reminders of what once used to be before mobile phones started growing at the tip of our fingers. And the weeds add a nice touch.
