Quiz of the day .

Anyone see anything odd about this tree ? 

 

[Andy™]

yup. its a phone mast

 

[OnOff]

It's firly obvious........ :coat

 

[ProDave]

It's certainly not a Larch.

 

[OnOff]

The mast has been spruced up! Makes me pine for the old type. About now yew'll be thinking idiot!

 

[Apache]

Agree with Andy

If you look closely along the M4 between Newbury & Reading there are a few Tree masts; they are disguised as Deciduous & pine trees.

 

[Blue Duck]

Theres a big metal fence round it you dont get that with most trees....

 

[poni]

its a must have, I want one  

 

[Evans Electric]

I'm sure I remember a protest against the mast in that area ,  however I think its a good idea to disguise them , never seen it done before .

 

[sprocketflup]

What mast?

 

[kerching]

We used to dive in a quarry in Wales called Dorothea.....it was a fairly long and boring journey AND an early start.....we had a competition to spot the cell phone tree.

There were about 12 en route. They looked passable in the summer , but a bit weird midwinter with no other trees in the area with leaves on them

 

[batty]

They should get naked in the winter.

 

[M107]

the other interesting fact about them......................you rarely see birds in them.

Some local infill masts are also disguised as wood telephone poles, we have one at the end of our road.

A little known fact.....new masts are not turned on for a few months when they are erected, this is so when the locals complain about gsm interference & any medical ailments post the cell site going in all claims can be discounted in court

Taking this thread way off course no doubt but BIRDS for some reason seem able to avoid flying into cobwebs. There's a German glass maker I think who's figured how to "weave" a near invisible cobweb style mesh into their glass panels to specifically STOP birds flying into them...........

It's looks like a scene from Harry Potter will all the spiders, but definitely no birds.........

Oh I'm gonna be on the lookout for those!

"The cause of the crash? Sorry Officer, I was looking for masts disguised as trees."
