High Tech, Hawaiian Style

Verizon Wireless has been using palm tree look-a-likes on the Big Island to disguise some of their otherwise unsightly equipment, namely cell phone towers.

And why not? Who doesn’t love looking out and seeing tall palms silhouetted in the sunlight?palm-cell-tower.jpg These palms may not sway, but still they’re not bad to look at and most people will be fooled into thinking they are really trees, not cell phone towers. Okay maybe in some areas they would look out of place today in the dead of winter with negative temperatures, but still you’ve got to love it, I do!

But Kona is not the only place using trees to disguise their cell phone towers. I have seen pine trees for the same purposes on the mainland and they may just blend in a little better in say Minneapolis where it the climate is just slightly cooler than Hawaii (even with global warming . . . ;o) . . . . . I just wish HELCO(Hawaii Electric Light Co.) would take the hint and clean up that mess they created all up and down the highway near Kona!
