Did you take this beautiful one with an iPhone ?
Where is it?

Yes, from back in 2014 when I was using either an iPhone 5s or a 6+ (don't remember).

That's a blimp hanger (with the covering removed) that goes back to the 1930s, when the US Navy used blimps for surveillance. It's located at Moffett Field, in Mountain View, California, where there used to be a Navy base.

Here's a link

.. a closer look at a tree stump observed today on an early-morning walk -- nature's art via natural decay.

.. a favourite stump .. caught another photo of it during a walk this morning -- with the flower growing in front, it seems to be smiling a touch more than usual.

This is a Nelder Plot at Blodgett Forest in the Sierra Nevada mountains, they once did a story about them on the news as they were planted in such a unique way back in the 90s and I've been meaning to get up there and shoot them before moving away, 2 hours each way and no internet or mapping up there, so I had to use up all my batteries scouting around trying to find it.

This is truly out in the middle of nowhere but felt lucky to be able to find them, really only visible like this with a drone, otherwise it's a long hike but you can't see the actual shape from the ground but pretty amazing from the air.

I almost never take photos of flowers unless they're dead. This is an exception, obviously.
