Stealthy Antenna Spotted in Santa Clara - Share Your Story!

[berkeman]

I spotted this "palm tree" in Santa Clara a few days ago. It's in a church parking lot, near some other real palm trees. Pretty clever way for the church to make some extra money on the side from a cell phone provider.

My girlfriend spotted a much stealthier cell antenna tower disguised as a pine tree -- I'll try to post a picture of it soon if I can figure out how to get a picture of it without getting run over (it's on a highway offramp).

What stealthy cell tower antennas or HAM/other antennas have you spotted?

I saw an abandoned cell phone tower in Bali that was completely covered with vines, Planet of the Apes style.

Hmm, I don't think that counts. Unless of course, they re-activate the tower and don't trim the vines...

Sorry. It was the best I could do.

I found a picture of a ninja parade online. I'm sure some of them had radios.

I have lots of pictures with invisible cell towers. At least I think they are cell towers.

found it !

here's the same tower ... I managed to find it in google street view ( serious exercise !)

the view below is from close enough to the same spot that I took my photo from

and finally a google Earth location map ( within the red oval) ... not too far nth of Colorado Springs ...
