Hmm… For some reason, I’m not convinced this is a real Royal Palm tree. The fake Norfolk Island pine tree in Kalihi valley is a lot more realistic: If I didn’t see them putting it up, I might not have noticed it was a cellular telephone antenna tower.
This month’s contest is to identify the location of this specific fake tree. Again, give us the specific longitude and latitude. If there are several near guesses, the closest one as determined by a field GPS measurement will take the prize. Just register and post your guess as a comment on this thread to enter!
This month’s prize is a white SNM tee shirt with this image on the front. Large or medium size is available.
Again, if you’re outside of the United States, delivery of the prize may be an issue, so you may receive only the recognition of your alpha-geekdom. Contest rules and prizes subject to change.
Contest ends Monday, 30 November 2009.

On Fort Weaver Road, next to Coral Creek Golf Course.
its right here
Well, chucks is at least, but I dont think thats same one thats in the picture?
Nope. I just drove by that one on the way to ‘Ewa Beach today. That one beside Fort Weaver Road has some grey antenna emitters, and they went through the trouble of putting textured fake plastic bark on the pole to make it look more “realistic”. Not the one. Sorry.

In the parking lot of Boston’s pizza near Pearl Ridge Shopping center.
We have a winner! Ckucke is the proud owner of a new SNM T-shirt!
Thanks everyone for participating. Stay tuned for the December contest!
on google street view
Funny how on street view there’s some guy either taking off his shirt or putting it on.
Great. Instead of “street view” we end up with “naked guy view”.
(bet this comment will become a hotbed of spam strikes with those specific words represented)
And it’s not me providing the “naked guy view”. Just had to type that in!
Although we could all probably imagine you following the Google Earth car around mooning the camera…
