This must be how the camouflage for the Boeing production facilities in Seattle was created. An entire little (fake) city built on top of the factory area - trees, landscaping, roads, houses, and all.

Too bad they don't have the same decoration now, it would make a nice relaxing spot for the workers to take a break during the day.
