< Payphone Gone: 35th Avenue in Astoria | Payphone Gone: By a 9/11 Mural > The most deserted phone booth in the world... September 14, 2009 Raynard Bagley sends this interesting photo, showing a phone booth in the North of Belgium. This old booth is steadily disappearing into a thicket of shrubs. Raynard's photo of this overgrown Belgacom booth reminded me of a photo sent in a few years ago, showing a BT phone booth around the corner from Highgate in London. This little structure looks more like a terrarium than a phone booth: Public telephony is fading from prominence, but how often do you encounter such vivid visual metaphors for the situation? < Payphone Gone: 35th Avenue in Astoria | Payphone Gone: By a 9/11 Mural >
