Atmospheric night scene with the iconic British red telephone box standing out on a London street sidewalk. Next to it, a red Royal Mail postbox completes this typically English picture. Hanging flower baskets on lampposts add a touch of color to the urban scene, while in the background modern commercial buildings remind us we are in the heart of a contemporary metropolis. The K6 telephone box, designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1935, has become a symbol of Britain worldwide, today often transformed into mini-libraries, defibrillators or tourist attractions.
