Cell phone tower camouflage

The ridiculousness of cell phone tower camouflage is well known. See, for example, Keeping Up With The Parental Units or this excellent gallery. Today, I noticed a different sort of camouflage:

At the end of the day, this still looks ridiculous. At a certain point they should just embrace the antennas as is, and stop trying to hide it.

    Actually, the tree on the Keeping Up With The Parental Units link is a REAL tree pretending to be a cell phone tower.

    An example of Life imitating Art.
