It's a bit of a quandary, I like being able to make a phone call anytime and just about anywhere. On the negative side, I am not over keen on the skeletal towers that are everywhere you look, but so necessary for near instant communication.
I do like the idea of disguising them as trees, so they blend into the landscape. Can't say that I have ever seen on of these... but then I probably wouldn't know.
Smaller versions of these towers are springing up on churches and the like, since the phone companies pay rent, it is an additional source of income for the building owner and they are not so obvious.
I do wonder how much longer we will have copper wires to our homes for the old fashioned phones.

That is a very cool artistic photo though Ron.
I like it as it is the reflection and not the actual tower.

@Ronrybs They are disguised on church roofs and trees. It is a tribute to the designers of these things that they cannot be spotted. That is the whole idea. They used to have those ugly things stuck on hills , cannot complain as I like to use my mobile when out and about.

I'm always fascinated by lines of phone poles and electricity pylons

Blending the towers into trees is a great idea.
