In related notes, what is the tower of loudspeakers for? There are several, here's an example:

I have access to thousands of photos of cell towers...but not that tower.
You'd be amazed at some of the things they try to disguise them as, especially in places like California.

They love cell phones in California, but apparently they feel they shouldn't have to see the towers that provide them service. They're mostly palm trees, some pine trees, some oaks, some church towers or crosses. I've seen antennas on electric towers too...they're everywhere these days.

edit:
Here's the FCC registration for that tower -- looks like it is owned by AT&T.

hey thanks for sharing that

this whole thing started because i saw http://www.robertvoit.com/bilder/serie1_new_trees/index.php on reddit today and i couldn't remember if the one off 287 was still standing (i hadn't noticed it in some time)

6/21/2010 8:20:40 PM

6/21/2010 8:28:35 PM
