Antenna Tree Mast Safari
This picture was taken in Zambia by Sarah Los (NL) while on wildlife safari. Every fairly trained “NextNature spotter” should be able to distinguish the cellphone-tree masts from old-nature trees. But that’s odd; there are three of them in a row and all different species!? Does every cellular network provider plant its own tree family? It surely looks like a competition. Future designs are expected to look better, taller and greener.
Let us do a quick jungle safari ourselves.

Question that pops into mind: Would ‘technodiversity’ be the term to adress this subject?
I find the term ‘Technodiversity’ certainly thought provoking. I would treat it as a subset of biodiversity (but thats my nextnature mind). One might argue that a high amount of technodiversity is in general a good thing as it offers lots of possibilities for evolution.
Here’s another one, in Bloemendaal near the beach:

@Namdnal: I know that one, we recorded this video in Bloemendaal: http://www.nextnature.net/?p=3620
@Arnoud, how could you have missed that one?
Whoops, added!
It was in the ‘related’ section though. If you happen to discover new species, please leave a comment!
this kinda reminds of the big tree in myst
