About a quarter of the estimated 130,000 cellular towers across the U.S. are camouflaged, some as trees, others as flagpoles and still others as church steeples. Hiding the towers is a challenging but essential part of many wireless companies' strategies. How do you hide something that stands 100 feet tall?On a mountain top at the east end of Lake Coeur d'Alene and visible from I-90, one "tree" seems to stand out from the crowd. Upon closer inspection, it's actually a cell tower with scrawny branches that Charlie Brown would be sure to love.

All things considered, Kerri, that cellphone tower looks pretty good. If man is going to integrate himself into nature, it's best done as unobtrusively as possible. At least some thot was shown in the cell-tower design. By the way, I enjoy your site.
