I finally got around to shooting my local phone booths - with a camera 😀 Here's two in front of the local train station. This spot is a favourite hangout for drug dealers, and I can't help but think they're the ones keeping these phone booths economically viable.

The green color is a holdover from when these were property of the national KPN Telecom service in the Netherlands. Nowadays, they are in the hands of another company. Apparently one that doesn't want to invest even a cent in the upkeep of these units. It's a shame, I really like them.
