50 Cool Phone Booths

A telephone booth, telephone kiosk, telephone call box or telephone box is a small structure furnished with a payphone and designed for a telephone user's convenience. In the USA, Canada and Australia, "telephone booth" is used, while in the UK and the rest of the Commonwealth it is a "telephone box" or "phone box". Such a booth usually has a door to provide privacy and a window to let others know if the booth is in use.

  3. man, that first colorfull one is not an umbrella, but a berimbau, a brazilian musical instrument made of wood, a string and a cabaça. It´s used at capoeira, a traditional type of figth that we have since slavery time. It´s very common in Bahia, although it was born in Rio.
    And that gigant one is very near my house (actually, I've made a few calls in it)..

  4. The Tardis is a police booth...not a phone booth.
