Looks Are Deceiving

When is a tree...

Not a tree?...

When it's an ATM!
A great disguise, don't you think?
It gives a whole new meaning to money growing on trees!
This 'branch' is on the Mohawk Trail in Greenfield, Massachusetts.

That's fantastic! I love it!
Is this faux bois? Or an actual
tree?

Too Funny!

Thanks for sharing Sunny!

Wooooo---interesting. Now--give us the background... Tree? Not a tree? Purpose? etc....

That's definitely the most unusual ATM I've ever seen.

Hugs,
Betsy

What a surprise, I've never seen anything like it! It's fabulous, I love it!

Sunny said...

I have added a link to a newspaper article with a lot of information on the ATM.
Thank you so much for stopping by!
Sunny :)

Wow! That's incredible.(remember the old tv show?) Great picture.:-)

That's great the way they have camouflaged it that way. Here they make our cell phone towers look like pine trees or palm trees.

Very clever! So now money does grow on trees...cute!

What a great way to encourage customers. An off the wall idea gives one motive to join them and bank at the tree. Great shots.

Glennis said...

Very thoughtfully made to blend.

Pastor Sharon said...

Hey wait! I wonder if we have any of those money trees around here!

Rocky Mountain Retreat said...

Oh neat... I have never seen anything like that before... how cool is that!!! Whoa!

Jo said...

OK, I read the story - wonderful!

Pam said...

Marvelous photo, Sunny. Where can I get some seeds from that tree?
That bank had an ingenious idea!

Frank said...

I would have never believed it if you had taken the photos. Amazing and I'm sure truly unique in all the ATM world. Astonishing Sunny.

Fun post, Sunny. I've been to Greenfield numerous times but missed the money tree. Looks like a residence for fairies from your photo. I'll have to look for it the next time I'm in town. I'm glad we're neighbors.

Judy AKA Sunny said...

This is way amazing ! Thanks for sharing it with us. :) Cool atm !

Wanda said...

Boy...that photo startled me...I was thinking...I never knew fungus could grow that humongus...creative idea...it should be done more often!

Faye Pekas said...

Wow, sure could have fooled me. Very interesting and creative.

Snapper II said...

That certainly is unique. I wonder if they make the money in the tree, you know, like "Keeblers" have a bakery, make cookies in a tree.

Kamana said...

how wonderful! ATMs are so boring - this one certainly isnt!

Denise said...

Hi Sunny, this is such a clever idea for an ATM and brilliantly captured by your wonderful photographs. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving those nice comments. Always great to see you there.

SquirrelQueen said...

That is way too cool, I would love to see one of these in our area. This is wine country so maybe a grape vine theme.
