I visited Venice many years ago, in February, with a couple of friends.
Chicago
The Loop
Lincoln Park Conservatory
I was watching a movie on tv the other night and one of the characters got on the Loop at the same spot where I took the top photo. (Kind of sad that I notice these things.)

We visited Yosemite in May 2007. While taking the top photo I heard an American woman behind me say “I guess they don’t have phones where they are from.” Hysterical stuff.

This was sent in from a London location.
Phone-henge
Freestyle Music Park, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
“This completely fabulous Stonehenge replica, playfully named Phonehenge, sits in the Freestyle Music Park (formerly the Hard Rock Park) in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It surrounds a large performance space in the British Invasion section of the park and is comprised of lots of red old-style British telephone boxes” (http://weburbanist.com/2009/09/03/clonehenges-20-creative-recreations-of-stonehenge/)
Cuba libre
Here are four from our recent trip to Cuba. Many people use the phones in Havana that line the shaded outside walls of buildings. My favourite are the blue half cocnut shaped covers. They have bright yellow tourist taxis, called coca taxis, with a similar shape. I have also included a shot of a detail of the outside of the government telecom building in the streets behind the Capitole. As with most of the capital – the building was lovely but in dire need of a clean. This is a city melting with lazy decrepitude. It could be one of the most beautiful cities in the world if only the buildings were restored and the streets cleaned up.

Not sure about this one
?
A friend sent me this after she returned from a tour of the Silk Road some years ago.
Crete
I went to Crete in 2002, I think.
Tokyo
Matthew took these on a business trip. The first is at Hibiya Park. In the second the green box would be used just for domestic calls and the gray for international, although now they’re usable for both.
