Cellphone Towers In Disguise

It's tough to spot, but there is a pine tree in Great Falls Park that's a little taller and fatter than most of the others in the dense forest.

This has actually been around for quite some time, It may of gotten more attention recently, because it seems that now there is more of a demand to put more towers in. I actually heard of this, years ago when TechTV was not G4, but I didn't actually see a cell phone tree until a few years ago, so now they are becomming more abundant.
