A Palm Tower
I mentioned earlier this week I was out of town last week at the BlogWorld conference in Las Vegas. While I was there I observed several things that were noted differences from here in Tucson and I’m not talking about the Strip or Gambling.
The terrain looks a lot like Tucson high desert, arid, lots of palm trees, some grass, but there was also a Monorail right outside my door. Lots of building construction with high rise cranes everywhere. And a slot in the wall of my room to control the air conditioning. I’ll share some images of these things in the next couple of days.
I’ve read about these and there might even be some in Tucson. I’ve never seen any and might not have seen this one if the sun coming up hadn’t hit this tree the way it did. It certainly blended in with the other trees in it’s surroundings.
If you have spotted these around Tucson would you let me know where you have seen them?
I know I see a lot of regular cell towers and even though I like a good signal where ever I am around town. I would like the towers to be a little less noticeable when possible.
Palm Palm Not Palm Palm

I think Tucson’s desert is one (if not) the most scenic in America. We have the majestic Saguaro’s and lots of diversity even though we’re in the Sonoran Desert. Las Vegas sits in the Mojave Desert which is much dryer and plants have a hard time living there naturally.

Wow! That is a very clever idea. I would love for our cell towers here in Tucson to be so cleverly disguised.
