Cell Phone Towers

Sometime last year, I noticed a cell tower very close to where I live as I was driving home--Most of the time I take a different route home, and it's also often dark by the time I get home, so I don't know how long it's been there before I noticed it.

Then, about a month ago, I noticed another one, only about a block away from the first one...
I've circled the cell towers in this satellite map from Google Maps. You can see the long shadows each tower casts...

And for perspective, the same map, without satellite imagery. I've overlaid the same circles to mark the locations of these towers.



For the curious, these cell towers were "disguised" as very tall trees. The one on the left is an AT&T cell tower. I didn't get close enough to the other one to see which wireless carrier it's for, or if it's for multiple carriers.
