ReplyDeleteNarrowly missed being another Ag/Firefighter high risk flying job casualty on KR that sadly has been on the increase this year in alarming manner.
ReplyDeleteCell tower disguised as a fake tree?
ReplyDelete^^Correct. They are very popular in suburban metro cities where there are lots of trees. I live in suburban Atlanta and we have them. They are also in Orlando where my second home is. It's amazing at how well they blend into nature as intended but you can't appreciate it here being in a mostly desert dotted with trees.
DeleteWe've got a lot of those here in the Phoenix area. Either pine trees or palm trees depending on the area!
