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.

    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...

    Duh! They make them taller so that in a couple of years they will all be same height! They know what they are doing.

    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.

    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.

    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?)

  32. Anonymous Anonymous 

    Yes but thats probably not all they're transmitting

    * 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...
