Anglophilia: red telephone box as garden ornament
More whimsy from Villigen. I don't know whether this is the real thing from Britain or a mock-up, but I will say that it provides a splash of color in the otherwise dull winter surroundings. Though, in this photo taken a few days ago, there's sufficient greenery to make it look it look quite unlike what winter-time should be like around here. The noticeable difference in the summer would be that the planters and the window box would have colorful flowering plants in them.
The box looks like the 6th edition, Kiosk No. 6, which was introduced in 1936.

It's wonderful to still see a telephone box around, with cellphones conquering the world nowadays!
Hi Santy, there are still Swisscom phone boxes to be found, though I understand not as many as there were before.
Their numbers are being reduced here as well.
It would be so cool to one in my living room. Or bathroom as a shower stall.
