The Los Angeles Times has a photo essay about cell phone towers being cleverly disguised as palm trees.
I think the best thing about Emily Shur’s photo essay is its title: Nature Calls.
But come on, I’ve got this one beat. For years, my parents in Medford, Oregon have had a church down the street with a cross that doubles as a cell phone tower…or cell phone tower that doubles as a cross. However you choose to view it.
According to Hi-Tech Composite Structures, the company that built the cross:
This cross at a church in Medford is doubling as a cell tower. Verizon Wireless approached the First Christian Church and the congregation agreed. So the church got permission from the city and built a new cross that connects people’s faith and their phone calls. The church receives a monthly stipend from Verizon, which parishioners say will allow them to do things they could not otherwise afford.
