Urban designers have successfully disguised telephone poles with works of genius, while others… did their best.
There are poles that have been transformed into crucifixes, flag poles, palm trees, and even blended in seamlessly with architecture. Artists in California and Italy have successfully used what would otherwise be an eyesore as a canvas for cool sculptures.
Here are the best and worst examples of telephone pole camo.
