Very cool- looks like this site is in the middle of nowhere so it blends in well.

Jonathan Kramer · 09-04-2005, 2:28 PM

Andy:

Actually, while my photo does make this seem to be in the middle of nowhere, it's actually up a slight rise from an adjacent business center, and across the street from a shopping center.

The next time I'm in the area I'll hopefully take more photos when the sun is not partly blocked by clouds

, and I'll get some pull-back photos to show the site in context with the surrounding area.

I figured that no carrier would waste money in the middle of nowhere

And if it would have been in the middle of nowhere, I'm sure the tower/cactus would have been taller.
Does it look real though in real life or can you definitely tell its fake?

Jonathan Kramer · 09-07-2005, 7:35 PM

Andy:

It's amazingly realistic. Top quality. The detail is due to the fact that Larson, the manufacturer, is a top flight builder of themed entertainment settings. Look at www.larson-usa.com for a better idea.

You really can't tell it's not real until you get up close and personal. Even then the quality of the camouflage stands up to close inspection.

Andy/All:

In reply to Andy's query about the quality of the cactus, I've uploaded a detailed photo showing the bottom and base of the cactus. It's here in the AZ gallery. I think you'll agree that the quality is as I've reported.

I agree with everyone.

Cool picture Jonathan.

RJB · 09-26-2005, 11:08 PM

I hope noone tried to go cut it down for an arizona christmas tree lol

Gideon H · 11-08-2005, 12:53 PM

Its illegal to cut down a saguaro in AZ

Not to mention that you cant take a skeletion of one from the desert, either. BIG fines.
