    The old and the new

    Currently there are still a few working telephone booths in Toronto, and I got three of our grandchildren to pose in and around one of them to show interesting juxtapositions of the old versus the new. This is one of my favorites of the shots I took.

    Yes those telephone booths are few and far between these days. You are making an interesting statement; that shot would have been even more impactful had it been taken in the rain. Too back about that large electrical box on the left there.

    I am guessing that due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, public phones will be even less used.... I am surprised that they are still in existence...

    Manfred,
    Thanks for commenting.
    Perhaps it would have been better in the rain, but the logistics involved arranging for and collecting two sets of Grandchildren when its raining is a daunting task. As for the electrical box, as you know, street backgrounds are what they are, but I'll try covering it over with the foliage growing in front of it. That's why God gave us the cloning tool.
