Not Sending Out A SOS *
by Franky2005

This device is an emergency call system installed in a pedestrian underpass that connects two parts of a park. In the age of cell phones all those systems are not operational any longer I believe.

Why is this my favourite? I cannot really tell! I had been passing this for so many times, but only once I got my first digital camera (October 06) I stopped. Lately I took a serie of all 7 systems that are around in the park, but this is the initial picture. The b/w enhances the rotten condition and the old look. I am courious whether anybody shares my passion. :-)

Love it, Frank! Really interesting object, the black & white adds a distinctly antique feeling to it.

To be honest, I have not checked the URL before. It is a sticker that somebody put the device. I am not related to these people in any way. Frank

Yes, I share your passion, but then I collect old radios (1930s - 1950s) & used to collect old coin-operated machines & would probably stick this on my shelf. BTW is the www.neckcns.com part of the graffit1?
