Towers less than 200 ft are not painted except in specific unusual cases.If
someone bought surplus tower sections that are painted, unless the tower is a
special case, just let the paint fade and do not attempt to clean it.The tower
in the story has probably been around for many many decades and
path is NOT symmetrical. A number of complex explanations have been put
forth, and I'm waiting for occams razor to slice down to the meat.
