phones

OK, what's the collective noun for a collection of phone boxes? A run of phones, a call of phones, a wire of phones... ?

Decorating news - the main room on the ground floor (where the PC sits) is ready and we spend Tuesday putting all the shelves back up etc. Thank you for all your comments over the past few days, I really appreciate them. I'll be back to commenting in the next day or two.
Erm how about "an-underused-line-of"?! Nice shot Peter.

But not a blue box in sight! :/

@jenniprior Yes, Jenni, they are under-used, aren't they! Everyone has mobiles and smartphones and goodness knows what else...

@joa Johanna - this was taken in Bow Street (as in "the Bow Street Runners" - google it!), so your comment is very apt. I'll try and find a blue box next time I am in town!

I have just commented on a friends picture, which was four red telephone boxes in a row in Truro!! They look a bit like a stage prop - very unusual sight!

Those phone boxes are so wonderful. Much nicer than anything we have here, if you can find one that is. Great shot!

A Gallifrey of phone boxes?

A museum? Do people still use phone boxes? Gerat shot..

This looks so historic. I love it.

An abandonment?!! Great shot Peter lets hope we don't lose them
July 10th, 2012  
Very cool shot! You don't see too many of them around anymore.
July 10th, 2012  
Very good shot. This is the kind of photo I take a lot of. One suggestion: crop out some of the street in the foreground. Just a thought.

@toms365 Tom, thanks, I did try that but didn't like the result, somehow.

such an iconic UK shot! Love this. . .

I don't know - you wait for a phone box for ages then 5 come along all at once! I like the shot Peter and I am so glad that you have not oversaturated the red!

@damianpowell 'A Gallifrey of phome boxes' - brilliant!
July 11th, 2012  
Great shot!
July 12th, 2012  
Lovely shot! Got me England sick for a minute there..
July 12th, 2012  
Love that pop of red!
July 13th, 2012  
How about a 'stand' of phones? I like the symmetry of this shot and the red against the neutral of the buildings/pavements.

Great capture...don't see them much around here anymore - and ofcourse these in London are more picturesque than ours ever were!

@craigwkr Deliberately excluded. It's a great part of London, isn't it?
July 16th, 2012  
@peadar Yes, great place to just wander. Look forward to seeing your next photos.

@yrhenwr Just like a number 10 bus in other words!
