Cell tower with street lights on top and grating to kind of hide the cell part is what Iβd say
Grating might also be for protection from things like nesting birds. I prefer this over the obvious fake but pretending to be a tree versions.
I think it is hilarious that there are oil derricks in fake buildings in LA.
As much as I agree the fake trees seem fake, they're surprisingly effective.
I've asked people about cell towers on a hill nearby, and no one has ever noticed them. I tell them they look like fake trees, they still don't know.
Our brains are pretty good at filtering out seemingly useless information.
California does a good job with the tree disguises so Iβm a fan of them. You can still tell but still nicer. Not sure about other places lately
I looked up some images, and there's some that aren't bad. The ones on the East that I've seen are the basic skinny tower with some Christmas tree-like foliage up and down, jutting far above the pine trees, so they stick out more than if they had just left it a bare tower.
Thanks you, it's directly in front of my house and I'm always curious what it was XD
You can use antennasearch to get more information on it.
"Long pole in my area"
I think I see some hot shingles in your area based on the photo.
