    At 63 Queen Street in Edinburgh, Scotland, stands a red phone booth, known by the name of “Gilbert”, that has not just a working phone but also some books and a little desk - a marvel of nostalgia. Google it, and when you do get to hop across the pond, pay a visit and, for a small fee, make a call. It is maintained by a shop. From its website:  “Pop into Stewart Christie & Co, the telephone box is right outside, and they will hand you the key. A £3 donation to Save the Children is requested which can be made by text or using the donation box in the kiosk. Ths store is open Monday to Saturday from 9.00 to 17.30. You can take a peek inside through the windows at any time.”

    Great find! I'm very surprised to see this phone box in the St. Louis area- there aren't any “regular” working pay phones that I can think of. Nicely shot!

    I really like your low point of view and how the wide angle stretches the door to look so tall. Very cool shot!
