Creative Cell Tower

The picture illustrates the latest innovative cell tower being installed by Verizon in an area of Tucson where dwellers are picky about their views.

I really admire such imagination. 🙂 Any other innovative towers out there?

i dunno maybe it would been better to build a tower than to ruin a probably 100 year old cactus

Fake cactus? The bottom is bolted down. Pretty darn cool. Cell phone tower that does't ruin the nice looking landscape.

You miss the whole point. The entire saguaro cactus is synthetic - nothing is ruined, except possible the beaks of the Gila woodpeckers that try to build a nest hole in it. 🙂

there are a few tree towers in tempe. the first time i saw the one on rural and baseline i thought it was odd to have a block wall with spikes on top around a tree. after a few trips, i realized it was a tower and it made more sense. my kids told me it was a fake tree before i realized it was a tower hehe.

It'd be cool to see one of those in NYC.

Towers in the canyons on highway 287 north of Fort Collins, CO are decorated like area rock.

We have some cell towers up in the Adirondaks that look like pine trees. Also saw some as I was driving down through NJ that looked like pine trees.

I wish they got more creative with the ones in NYC. We usually just see a ton of antennas sitting on top of a roof. How about arranging them as a reinterpretation of the ubiquitous water tower?

Yes, NJ has the fake pine trees in some areas. If I remember, I'll take a pic today.

Turns out there is a growing business in this area.

I also found one near the coast disguised as a lighthouse!
