SOS it's trivial

If the express purpose of this installation is to give people the means to send a distress signal, I would expect the phone color to be red, not pink. As you can see, Franz, this image grabbed my attention nonetheless. It's visual puzzle, yielding 2 questions. Why is it in a location like this? In this era of rampant cell phone use, who actually needs it? A most interesting catch . . . michael - - - - - - (PS You may want to look at my comments on Pierre's most recent use of polar coordinates.)

Hi Michael, pink is the colour of Deutsche Telekom. Some years ago there was a yellow phone booth (box). What you see now is the cheap version of it. I found this statement (translated with google translator): "With a turnover of less than 50 euros per month, public payphones are extremely uneconomic, according to Telekom. Therefore, they would be mined - in consultation with the municipalities. "As a rule, the municipalities agree to our request," said Telekom. If not, the telephone boxes would be replaced by so-called "basic telephones": a metal post to which a telephone is attached. This then works but no longer as a pay phone, but only with a phone card." I think in the next time this basic telephone will be mined too and noone will remember to it. This was the reason to take a photo of it.

Michael, saw your comment to his picture. His answer to my joke made me laugh: ".. clicking on my picture although by mistake!"

What is this thing?? haha! Great capture, once again, Franz!

Thank you for your comment Mitch. You can read what it is in my answer to Michaels comment. Regards, Franz

This is what happens when you let Vogue design public phones.

:o))))
