Last week, while driving through New Jersey, I was finally able to get a picture of this camouflaged cell phone tower.
These are the most ridiculous things. They are ramrod straight, “pruned” into who-knows-what shape, and are the size of Sequoias, which dwarf any real trees in the vicinity. Oh, and they are evergreens (!), and look so out of place in the winter months in the middle of a deciduous forest devoid of foliage. Here’s one in New Hampshire that makes for a great, romantic sunset.
These towers are starting to cover the continent; I’ve seen them up and down the east coast, from Virginia to Massachusetts. Check out this site on disguised cell towers; you’ll see a bunch in California that are pruned a bit better than the ones I’ve seen.
But still ridiculous.
