    No one seems to talk anymore?

    This was an opportunistic shot while sitting in cafe in St Johns, Antigua while on holiday recently. Our cafe had free wi-fi and people were swarming around for a signal, like bees round a honey pot. Then I saw this group sitting next to posibbly the most iconic telephone boxes ever, bright red British telephone boxes. But, no one talking just fingers working like crazy. All c&c gratefully accepted.

    You need fuel (alcohol) to talk. Just walk into any sports bar.

    Hi Gerry,

    Although it may be just a curiosity snap, however in PP I think I would straighten the verticals and perhaps shave a slither of the right hand edge so the tree trunk goes to the edge all the way up.

    It would help others if you post images "inline", rather than require people to click on the thumbnail to see it full size, I have fixed this above for you.

    Shame about the condition of the boxes though
    Not so much the lack of glass as the broken framework.

    Cheers,

    Maybe they are texting the phone company to complain about the state of the box. Well spotted, Gerry.

    Dave thanks for your comments, the phone boxes were off vertical, which I think made them look a bit ''sad''. PP tips logged for my next shot. Thanks for posting my image inline, I normally do that but tried doing it as an attachment this time as I'm at work offshore and we are very limited on bandwidth.

    Great comment - not just in the place the image was taken, but for many of us, worldwide.
