Disguising phone masts

[Anon_F]

So has anyone seen a mobile phone mast disguised as something else to blend in to the surroundings? The other day i saw one that looks like a large fir tree, close up it looks very plasticy!!

Serious? I've never seen anything like that before! Was it actually a phone mast?

Most I've seen have been stuck on top of tall buildings.

Just googled and found lots on them now

Sadly the phone companies will do anything to blend them in to the local surroundings, the only reason i knew was the fact that they have had cut a lot of trees back to get it in, oh and a friend did say the large crane at night used to put it in place which was a big give away something was up!!!!

I saw something very similar a few months ago when I was on my way to Norwich.

It has to be one of the strangest things I have ever seen!
