This week in SSC:

"Photograph something RED in black and white"

This was an interesting challenge. I tried a few different subjects but this one worked best.

You can see my original in the PIP.



...and for Sight and Sound:

You still have one!!! In here we had the same, I think it came from British influence in our culture, but thay are all gone, you have a smartphone or you can't call... (in some touristic areas they have a public booth but it is all metal and cristal, nothing artistical, just practical, like most of the things now: spiritless

This phone box is set in the historical town of Poulsbo not far from my home. The whole town is very atmospheric.

The iconic red phone box works really well in mono! The colour version is a bit busy compared to b&w.

Obviously red! =D

Here the traditional color probably has been green. Although, these days one can find only one or two saved as historical relics.

Are they still in use? They are part of the history here, although I found still one some weeks ago, empty and rusted.

This is good Karen. My first thought when I read the challenge was...ohhh I will find a phone box, but then realized they had all disappeared :-(
Love the song too, one of my favourites.

Karen's Place club has replied to ╰☆☆June☆☆╮ club
Oh, that's so sad that you don't have them there anymore. I will cherish this one even more now.

Thank you, June. Glad you liked the song too. It seemed the obvious choice.

Terrific shot Karen, like the strong contrasts in the b&w version don't these phone boxes make great subjects, we still have some but generally only where a mobile signal is poor or non existent,
Great link to a wonderful song, like it!.

I think that you will need your cell phone in that phone box. What is it with you people in Washington, purple skies and British phone booths?
