Antennae? Cell tower? by joansmor

Antennae? Cell tower?

The tv antennae were on the these hills when I was a child. Do they still have those? Don't know if this is an tower for the cable tv or a cell phone tower. There are several towers up there this is the biggest. I have been trying to take a picture of it and been foiled for a couple of weeks. Need to get a picture before the trees leaf out.
well, radio waves of some sort or other... so strange to contemplate ... and to see these almost-invisible but huge parts of our landscape.

I would think it's a radio tower. Cell towers would be new and more modern looking (just my thought) I'll ask my hubby later. Anyways it's a lovely shot, love the darkness in the clouds and green blue sky.

I think radio as well! Love the clouds!

Nicely captured - the sky is gorgeous!

The scattered vertical pieces are for cell phones, making that a cell relay tower, I think. If your provider is the owner of that tower (or piggybacks on it) you might notice a high signal strength (Four bars? Five ticks?) on your cell phone while in sight of it. The lower round pieces look like satellite dishes (which might also be phone related but could also be television related). The antenna in the middle could be for signal (radio?) but I think it's more likely a lightning rod or to hold a flashing light that warns off low-flying aircraft.

That's my guess. Love the clouds btw.

I do like the industrial look to this and the tack sharp clarity in your image.

A very strong capture.

@ahleena I was hoping someone would explain. I will test your theory next time I go up there.

@juleshoogstraanderson The tower is red but I processed it in Color eflex with the bleached filter because I liked it better. SO the cloud are affected too.

They are not the most attractive additions to our landscape, but they make interesting photos.

Maybe a mix of both?

love the heavy clouds

Fabulous on black, so much detail to see.

Joan! How are you? So good to see you are still posting!! I love the atmosphere in this image, and the colours!

Great use of this particular Color Efex filter Joan - it has produced a cross-processing effect which suits this image perfectly. Good work.
