This is another seasonal view from my computer requiring a sunny day and being around at the right time of year to take  the call.

Another was shown in my post In Passing some time ago. However, this one is a scene that will pass forever and probably quite soon. Phones with cords are very much on their way out.

We keep this relic so that we have at least one that works during a power outage.
