When I was in Denver (actually, when I was taking pictures of the giant mountainside cross), there was a ridge behind me that had a single tree atop it. I could just make it out, and noticed that it had a fence around it and what looked like some artificial structures around it. Using the zoom lens and a time exposure, I took some shots of it. Once I got a look at them, I realized it wasn’t a tree… it was a cel phone tower *disguised* as a tree. The orange glow in the background is Denver lighting up the cloudcover.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I wonder how much trouble it was to develop foliage which doesn’t attenuate microwave radiation too much.
Good on them for making something jarring look nice, just the same.

It’s plastic “foliage,” painted green. They use the same tricks in southern Ohio to keep scientific progress from offending those who style themselves as its worshippers.
