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.)

This was sent in from a London location.
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.

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.

Here are a couple of older shots from the homeland:

London?
I don’t really remember where this was taken, but I’m sure it was in England, perhaps London.
Zurich
Here are two from our recent visit to Zurich. We were particularly surprised to see the defibrillator aside the phone. A new one for me. A very sensible thing to do but I guess you need to trust the public not to vandilise the equipment.
Covent Garden
London
In my wanderings I came across this row today.
A colleague of my husband’s told him, after seeing this blog, that I was either insane or a genius. Hmmm. She suggested I apply for a lottery grant to pursue my art. An interesting thought.

Here are two from my trip to Jordan in the late 1990s.
