    Eerste River, Cape Town
    Invasive Species: Cellphone Masts Disguised As Trees
    At first glance they look like ordinary trees - in fact, these are cellphone towers disguised as trees native to their surroundings.

    Photographer Dillon Marsh has created a fascinating photo series of masts erected around Cape Town.

    Dubbed 'Invasive Species', his work shows how telecommunications companies have gone to great lengths to try and make the controversial masts fit in.

    Dillon explains: "A palm tree appeared almost overnight in a suburb of Cape Town. This was supposedly one of the world's first ever disguised cell phone tower.

    "Since then these trees have spread across the city, South Africa and the rest of the world.

    "Invasive Species explores the relationship between the environment and the disguised towers of Cape Town and its surrounds.

    "The 12 towers are located in suburbs or towns are all within 60 km of the centre of Cape Town."

    Dillon completed the project over a period of six months.

    "There were already a wide variety of designs by the time I started photographing. The designs loosely mimic trees that are found in the local environment."

    According to Wired, the world's first Palm Pole Tower was developed in the mid-1990s by Ivo Branislav Lazic of South African telecommunications company Brolaz Projects and his colleague Aubrey Trevor Thomas. It was placed into service in 1996 for Vodacom, one of South Africa's leading cellular operators.

    Brolaz say that more than a 1000 of these and similar camouflaged structures have been erected in South Africa and are also exported to USA, Europe, the Middle East and Australia.

    The company claim that increasing public approval, as well as advancements in antenna technology, have seen them expand the range of camouflaged options from the original Palm Trees ...

    According to Wired, the world's first Palm Pole Tower was developed in the mid-1990s by Ivo Branislav Lazic of South African telecommunications company Brolaz Projects and his colleague Aubrey Trevor Thomas. It was placed into service in 1996 for Vodacom, one of South Africa's leading cellular operators.

    Invasive Species: Cellphone Masts Disguised As Trees
    At first glance they look like ordinary trees - in fact, these are cellphone towers disguised as trees native to their surroundings.

    Photographer Dillon Marsh has created a fascinating photo series of masts erected around Cape Town.

    Dubbed 'Invasive Species', his work shows how telecommunications companies have gone to great lengths to try and make the controversial masts fit in.

    Dillon explains: "A palm tree appeared almost overnight in a suburb of Cape Town. This was supposedly one of the world's first ever disguised cell phone tower.

    "Since then these trees have spread across the city, South Africa and the rest of the world.

    "Invasive Species explores the relationship between the environment and the disguised towers of Cape Town and its surrounds.

    "The 12 towers are located in suburbs or towns are all within 60 km of the centre of Cape Town."

    Dillon completed the project over a period of six months.

    Hungry Shark Loses Lunch ... And A Tooth
    This Great White shark lost not only its lunch but also its tooth when it attacked a decoy seal.

    The hungry shark leapt out of the water to snatch up what it thought was a tasty Cape fur seal in its massive jaws.

    However, it was actually a decoy and the over enthusiastic shark bit down so hard that one of its teeth was sent flying.

    The moment was caught on camera by photographer Dan Callister off the coast of Seal Island near Cape Town, South Africa.

    A large population of sharks patrol the waters around Seal Island, which is home to around 64,000 Cape Fur seals from April to September.

    With such an abundant food supply close by, scores of sharks patrol the seas around the island on the look out for young and inexperienced seal pups.

    To reach the open sea to feed the seals must first cross these shark-infested waters - passing through what is known as the 'ring of death'.

    The predators then catch their prey in truly spectacular fashion.

    Approaching from below, the sharks leap nearly vertically out of the waves to snatch seals swimming close to the surface.

    The behaviour means that the area is acknowledged as the best in the world to witness sharks breaching.

    Wallflower - Artist Paints Herself To Blend Into The Background
    An artist experiments with her own body by painting designs on herself to blend into various backgrounds.

    Cecilia Parades transforms her body to become animals, plants or her surroundings simply by using body paint.

    Her latest work sees her body as the medium of floral designs in a series called 'Landscapes'.

    The collection shows parts of Cecilia's body painted in the same design as the background making her virtually invisible.

    The camouflaged pictures make it hard to distinguish Cecilia from the wallpaper with usually only the hair on her head making her shape visible.

    Highlights from the collection of photographs see the Peruvian artist's legs and skirt blending into the yellow abstract wallpaper; her back decorated with pink flowers and painted head to toe in large leaves and lilies.

    Cecilia who currently resides in Philadelphia, America said: "I wrap, cover or paint my body with the same pattern of the material and 're-present' myself as part of the landscape.

    "The illusion of 'disappearing' into the landscape that surrounds me is very exciting."
