They are, in fact, carefully camouflaged supports for cellular antennae, disguised to look like pines, palms, and cacti in South Africa, Italy, Israel, and the U.S., among other locations. Voit places these "new trees" in the center of his frame so that the images have the uniform look of product shots, but they're far from boring.
