Yo gawg, I heard you like pointy things, so we put pointy things on a pointy thing!

Seems less of a disguise and more of an attempt at being festive.
Oil production combined with wanton tree removal. Perfection.

I like how it stands right next to a completely unobscured derrick. Makes it kind of pointless and the “pine tree on a beach” vibe really makes it stand out more.
