Just like old times

We haven’t been to the National Arboretum in quite a long time, having missed two springs due to the pandemic. I’ve photographed these columns several times before, but I must say it was nice to see them again. Interestingly, I also took a picture of them with the D850 (I couldn't get them all in with the Z7 and my 300mm lens), but I liked the picture taken with my iPhone the best.

The National Capitol Columns are a monument in Washington, D.C.'s National Arboretum. It is an arrangement of twenty-two Corinthian columns which were a part of the United States Capitol from 1828 to 1958, placed amid 20 acres (8.1 ha) of open meadow, known as the Ellipse Meadow. (Wikipedia)

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

It is a beautiful scene and must say I'm impressed with the quality of the phone shot! V

The iphone serves its purpose well, it seem with every new model the camera gets better and better.
I like this wide view to take in the surroundings and with the yellow foliage in the foreground. V

How wonderful to see all the flowers still in bloom! Almost all wildflowers here are now dried up.

your phone certainly caught a quality image...what a pleasing scene, especially the wilder foreground and puffy couds..

The colors are beautiful as is your composition. Idyllic scene.

Nice capture. It sure is interesting how phones have improved in photo quality. Maybe we'll actually get a clear shot of a Sasquatch someday! :-)

A great scene with the foreground full of flowers. Not very crowded on such a lovely looking day.
