These are not cell towers

The Dark Tree in Lower Left is the Tower
by W Grant December 3, 2004 12:34 PM PST: At least this is my guess... I have not been there and those
speaking of other items they see in the picture I am sure are
right but I don't think this picture is mislabeled or that is the
issue. If you look at the Tree that is closest to what seems like a
small utility building up front in the lower left of the picture it
looks to me like that tree is not really a tree as you can see
things in it that resemble the other pictures. Any how just my
take on it :); Like this Reply to this comment

Compare with Pic 1

Most Innovative Cell Tower
by February 6, 2005 7:59 PM PST: The most innovative cell tower (not really stealthy) is in Ann Arbor. It is a modern design that does not attempt to hide the fact that it is a cell tower- see a picture at http://www.steelintheair.com.; Like this Reply to this comment

Hundreds of Cell/PCS Site Photos
by May 14, 2005 11:44 AM PDT: The photos in this story are interesting, but for those of you who are looking for very high quality photos of many, many different types of cell and PCS sites, please feel free to visit www.KramerFirm.com/cells/

We work for governments permitting cell sites, and these photos are used by governments around the country as visual examples of what can (and in some cases, should not) be done by carriers.
