Contest goal:

I was doing my groceries today and for the first time I noticed a pay phone standing near the metro station near my shopping center. And then it struck me, I cant really tell any other place in Amsterdam where there is a payphone aside of Amsterdam central station and the airport. Since the cellphone they started disappearing. So my contest suggestion is to shoot a picture of a payphone, not a phone house, but a public payphone boot(s).

Required level: 5+ or higher.
Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

jerostone: Hey, good mods, have you ever seen a phone booth in the shape of a... boot? There is one little H missing here. Maybe is advisable to spell it right, lest people get confused ( 5 years and 2854 days ago )

jerostone: Eladine, I was just joking, because it is more than obvious what the topic of the contest is all about, even without the thumbnail. As, myself too, I am not a native speaker of the English language, I'm the last person on this earth to make suggestions about the correct usage of it, perish the thought. My thread was meant as a joke, maybe one of poor taste, and I'm really sorry, because I never thought twice before posting it. Either "booth", or "boot", it is crystal clear what the topic is all about.
I just hope you'll accept my apology ( 5 years and 2853 days ago )

dem90: Does the pay phone have to be in a booth? Because there are pay phones that are on stands instead of being in an actual booth ( 5 years and 2853 days ago )

Eladine: Its allright Jero just didnt wanted the wrong ones taking it on them

I just dont understand how that could have escaped from me :P Im human I am affraid

I do accept and have respect for people who correct me when I am wrong (not that I ever am wrong) I wont make this mistake again I think thanks to you

Its good to learn. hugs!!

I am not familiar with phones on stands so I think that someone who knows what they are and understands what the idea behind the contest is can answer that ( 5 years and 2852 days ago )

friiskiwi: demo90, I'm not sure what a phone on a stand is either, suggest if you have a photo of one, you upload it and see what happens. ( 5 years and 2850 days ago )
