7. "New Trees"
German fine art photographer Robert
Voit's "New Trees" seem like everyday
plants at first glance, but when one
looks closer it's apparent they aren't
trees at all. They're cell phone towers
disguised (one might say badly) by
telecom companies in an attempt to
blend in with their urban and rural
environments.

10. “New trees”
Mono Lake, California
"The artificiality of these "new trees"
readily declares itself--they are
necessarily taller than most trees,
their antennae are often visible
through the leaves, or the trunks may
be marked with warnings to keep
away--and even without these clues
they stick out from their surroundings
as "not quite right," like Stepford wives
of the arboreal world," according to
Christoph Shaden who wrote the
forward for the book, "New Trees.“

A cellphone tower inside the bell tower, rear right, is seen over the Resurrection Lutheran Church in Ankeny, Iowa. As
wireless companies fill gaps in their networks, many have sought to camouflage the ungainly outdoor equipment that
carries the nation’s daily diet of calls, text messages and data.
