Description
Anyone who has even meandered through my artwork from my trips to Britain knows that I am truly infatuated with those iconic old British phone boxes. Nothing says Britain quite so loudly, I think. After all, outside of the UK, you seem most likely to find them in or near a British pub. That's pretty iconic!
So, it goes without saying, I took multiple photos of those phone booths on the Royal Mile in Scotland. I loved the mixture of those classic though comparably modern lines of the phone booth with the architecture of the old High Street in Edinburgh. After all, the Royal Mile in Edinburgh is the "Old Town" a place where the architecture stretches back to medieval times in places. It just has a classic old world feel to it, doesn't it?
I particularly like that this picture captures the rise of the Royal Mile. Anyone who has walked from the bottom at Holyrood to the top at Edinburgh Castle knows it's uphill all the way! One is never quite on flat ground on the streets of Edinburgh's beautiful Royal Mile!
