A photo a day from the famous East Midlands city, its surroundings, and wherever the photographic journey takes me.

Hot Gossip
Another Headbanger Challenge, and this week it's my turn, so I've chosen communication. There used to be an old joke about how news travels; telephone, telegram and tell a woman!
For my headbanger picture, I've gone for the life cycle of a letter. The original form of communication, before phones, computers and email took over. Spending some time writing to friends, keeping them up to date with events, sending cards, or just saying I've not forgotten you.
Not much chance of passing on any information by phone from these boxes, unless you want to see the sparks fly. If you're lucky you'll just get a crossed line.

Excellent header and a great theme... it was another that had to be thought about...
ReplyDeleteNice story here GM.
ReplyDeleteI will have to go on ebay and see what they have. Thanks for the suggestion. I have just been working on the history of the alphabet. I have a medal with the history on it.
ReplyDeleteGreat header, love the life cycle of a letter idea :-)
ReplyDeleteIt seems like only yesterday when one could close the doors on these...insert the coins...and place the call. Now, I can't even FIND a phone booth. Great find! Smiles!
