Cell Tower . . . Tree . . . Thing

Kathy and I were driving through Albuquerque the other day and we saw this . . . object . . . on the horizon.

“What is that?” Kathy asked in bewilderment. “Is that a Norway spruce?”


No, it wasn’t. It was a cell phone tower cleverly disguised as a Norway spruce.

Kudos to whoever thought to make the cell tower look like something more pleasant and natural.

But next time, could you disguise your cell tower as a piece of vegetation native to New Mexico? A ponderosa? An aspen? Something that doesn’t look even more alien than a cell phone tower?
