One with Cell-phone Towers and Fake Trees
July 13, 2006 by Vurdlak
Nice trees, aren't they (other pictures are inside the post)? There's just one problem... these aren't trees at all! Actually it's a homage to the fake trees that disguise USA cell phone towers. Have you ever noticed them? Well I think the idea is more than great! Having them hiddious cell-towers, is necessary, but with a bit of imagination and artistic touch, you can transform them in such way, that very few would spot they're fake. These Sham Shrubs have been manufactured so that you and I can communicate with each other, while protecting our delicate aesthetic sensibilities. They're hidden pretty well. But if you look for them, they're easy to spot. Be sure to jump inside this post to see more of them, but don't forget to visit original website to see whole bunch more of them. Thanks Mike for submitting this illusion!

I'm guessing they do this to make the area look nicer than it already is, which prooly isn't too great. I've seen the second one down in Long Beach, California. It's in or close to an industrial yard...I can't remember...been a while since I've been there.
uuuhhh... riiiiight. thats such a GREAT optical illusion... heh heh.
they have two palm tree ones where i live
THAT IS VERY ENVIERMENTAL FREINDLY I LOVE IT
They look pretty good in these photos, but not as good when you survey a whole landscape.
You see a horizon of trees all about the same height, but then there is one odd-looking "tree" that stands about 10 to 20 feet higher than all the others. This actually catches my eye more than other man-made structures, to which I've grown accustomed. But then again, I live in the city...
would this be considered a ... "phone tree" ?
in the 5th and 6th pictures, the cell towers' parts are almost transparent
You guys are stupid.....those are elf towers...why dont you inform yourselves and search that....Dahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
i wish they would do this where i live.
On the way to school, I pass one that looks like a mascara brush.
i see thease all the time at my house...nothing new to me...
=^.^=
Once after the one of the California wildfires that was the only thing green. (it looked kinda ridiculous)
we have these all over my town, my familly thinks it is so hippies can not complain because of metal in nature or something
ive seen these b4, the thing is they r so much taller than the actual trees
kinda scary dont you think....what else is being disguised and hidden among us?
The 5th one up is near where I live. A bit taller than all the other trees, (make that much taller) but still nice to see them up there.
Hurrah for my first post here! :P
Cool! Some look very real, and some look very fake. :)
Duh! They make them taller so that in a couple of years they will all be same height! They know what they are doing.

(Now) (In some years)
I live in Las Vegas, and they have these all over. but the weird thing is they alway put them like behind stores, with not other trees. it's really hilarious actually.
im in NJ an we got ones just like the eigth pic all around. you can really tell its a tower during the winter, when it's the giant green-looking tree that resembles nothing like an evergreen. thier failed attepmt at hiding it is kind of sad
That is such a neat idea! So much nicer to look at than the usual cell phone towers.
Lol...don't chase a bear into those trees...WHO WANTS DEEP-FRIED BEAR!!! Great illusion...why on earth would they do that tho?
They Have a tree just like 8 and 9 where I live , the first time I was told about it I thought i would have a hard time finding it... Yeah Nice fake
there is one in the Higgens Lake,MI area
Frodo is correct, though I don't assume any of you are stupid--just deceived. These ARE in fact ELF (extreme low frequency) towers.
Frodo is correct, though I don't assume any of you are stupid--just uninformed about these towers. These ARE indeed ELF towers.
I might just be wierd, but I don't find cellphone towers perticularly hideous. However, I have no objection to this since trees do look beter than cellphone towers none the less.
cool, nice, good?! WTF!!!
Cell Phone Radiation Poses Serious Health Risk!!
America is a whore which suckles at the teat of its zionist-israeli-fascist master who runs the country for the benefit of the zionist entity, to hell with the citizenry.
Cell towers will be used as weapons against the people of this country when the time comes!!! ELF can be dangerous to living creatures, and when the Freq. is changed watch out.
They are being hidden for a reason, not to make you feel better about your view of the sky!Time for you tree huggers to wake up!! Martial law is almost here!
They purposely make the towers nicer and friendlier so that they build them closer to your homes..... and burn you faster with the microwaves and such (remember microwave ovens?)
Yes but thats probably not all they're transmitting
they have this were i live...REAL trees!!!
* wow *
no doubt they look aesthetically pleasing, but being a paranoid i fear that this could be the sign of things to come.
no ACTUAL trees, just pylons and such disguised to look like them...
Very useful. I saw one near where I live.
