Photograph (c) Robert Voit /All Rights ReservedROBERT VOITS NEW TREES is "a work-in-progress since 2003, of mobile phone masts in the guise of artificial trees erected in real space in the U.S., Great Britain, South Africa, Korea, Italy and Portugal pays superficial tribute to a diffuse creative will driven by a basic desire for conciliation. To visually compensate for the dangers of electro-smog, mobile phone masts are given plastic “magic hoods” which simulate nature so that they then appear in the landscape as idealized forms of vegetation. The broad range of camouflage outfits includes deciduous trees and conifers, pines, palms and huge cacti. A lucrative manufacturing industry specializing in these artificial trees has emerged with considerable future potential; currently it is gaining a foothold on the European continent." – Christoph Schaden

All are terrific, but my favourite is the last one aginst this yellowish sky!
The third is wonderful.Love the mix of the painterly sky, the stark tree and the eyecatching vibrancy of the red truck.
They are all very beautiful and original. Bye Alex
Ironic, isn't it. Still, Robert managed to get beautiful shots of them. Mundane subject, talented photographer.
