Daffodish
Satellite television dishes reshaped as flower petals | |
TV satellite dishes used be ugly, but not any
more with the introduction of the Daffodish.
The Daffodish is a range of satellite dishes
that have been remodelled in the shape and
colour of some well known flowers. The
centre of the dish continues to function
normally, but is now embellished
with the
folds of a brightly coloured petal.
Where rows of drab grey dishes once
festooning the eves and walls of dreary
terraces, magical sunflowers, giant roses,
and fuchsias will now point skyward.

+ Oh I really love this! I am always looking for ways to change the ugliness of modern technology.
Buns and flowers for you. |

Oooh.. Wind chimes & flowery dishes. |

[Consul] Those damn druggies stole my satellite dish! |

I'd love to see the fence surrounding the dishes shaped like a cute scaled-down white picket fence. Especially if its on top of a really tall, ugly building. [+] |

[+] Girders and metal structures could be made to look like muscle or sinew, telegraph poles and electrocity pylons like trees .. |

The sunflower version could have tracking capabilities. |

[xandram], there are quite a number of the palm tree cell towers here. Some are so good that you don't notice that they're cell towers unless you can get up close to them. |

Pity the poor maintenance technicians. |
|
| |
Can mine look like a triffid? |

[half] I don't know where your {here} is, but it would be way cool to put the Palm tree ones here in New England!! (Instead of the Pine Tree ones) |
