Telecom telephone from the 1970's. I find these a most pleasing piece of industrial design; simple, quite elegant, nothing superfluous.
The BT Tower is a communications tower located in Fitzrovia, London, owned by BT Group. It has been previously known as the GPO Tower, the Post Office Tower and the Telecom Tower. The main structure is 177 metres (581 ft) high, with a further section of aerial rigging bringing the total height to 191 metres (627 ft). Its Post Office code was YTOW.
Upon completion in 1964, it overtook the Millbank Tower to become the tallest building in both London and the United Kingdom, titles that it held until 1980, when it in turn was overtaken by the NatWest Tower.
A bomb, responsibility for which was at first blamed on the Provisional IRA, exploded in the roof of the men's toilets at the Top of the Tower restaurant at 04:30 on 31 October 1971. Responsibility for the bomb was also claimed by members of the Angry Brigade, a far-left anarchist collective. That act left the tower largely closed to the general public.
The restaurant was closed to the public for security reasons a matter of months after the bombing in 1971. Later 1980 was the year in which Butlins' lease expired. Public access to the building ceased in 1981.

The Telecom Christmas Tree is a reliable crowd puller and dominated the nearby turning on of the Franklin Rd lights. This more modestly attended event, however, had its own ace-in-the-hole and had been teasing a 'big celebrity' to flick the switch. The subject himself would eventually confirm rumours that it would indeed be the man of the moment, Kim Dotcom.
This shot is part of a series of pictures I made at "Centro Direzionale" in Naples last July.
"Centro Direzionale" is the only skyscraper cluster in Italy. It was designed by Kenzo Tange in cooperation with other Italian architects such as Renzo Piano. It is manly used to host business, financial and administrative offices.
These shots were made with a Leica Mini II compact camera because walking in Naples with a more expensive or attractive camera is not recommended.
