Strange Tree

I thought I got a better picture of this, but this snap from the front seat of my old Ford Explorer will have to do. We again saw this solitary does-not-fool-anyone pine(?) on the Hutchison Parkway near the CT line on our trip down to NYC. There is another one up in the median of the highway just outside of Boston. Of course they are cell towers with fake branches. Blends right in with the other trees, eh? Actually, at this distance they look their best. As you get closer they look increasingly ugly since they are so obviously fake. I just wish I had a wise and witty statement about them, other than, "Why do they bother?" but if you can come up with any, please add a comment.
