To make a cell phone work there needs to be a cell tower within a few miles.  The towers look like what they are big metal towers and often neighbors don’t like them.  A current solution is to disguise them as trees. We have seem palm tree towers and pine tree towers.  Lillian took this picture of a pine tree tower near the road to Lake Arrowhead:

This is a start but why not celebrate the existence of the towers and turn them into large pieces of public art? Like this cell tower model that is a celebration of the working man:

I can visualize a Banana Tower and a Giraffe Tower.

But what about a Henry Moore or a Calder?  How about a series of them on the way to Las  Vegas that celebrate money: a dollar sign, a Euro sign and a pound sign for starters.  Near Washington DC could be the Presidents from Mt Rushmore and near NYC the great retail icons Shoes, Bags and Stockings.

My creativity leans toward realism but there are lots of opportunities in the modern art arena.  Spirals, spires and columns to name a few.

The cell company that seizes this idea could have an international contest.  They would select from models submitted by sculptors from around the world.

This process would gain them much invaluable publicity.  The installations would gain them even more.  And what fun it would be to have a giant dandelion or a rose growing where a cell tower used to be.

My favorite and one of the 17 “flower towers” in Interstate 5 between San Francisco and San Diego
