This is CV-67 (USS John F Kennedy) at the Naval Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility (aka the Philly Navy Yard) - right in the landing pattern for this American flight into Philly.

This live oak is just outside the entrance to the Ocean Course on Kiawah Island. I've come back to photograph this tree on 3 different trips. I'm still looking for the perfect photo of this tree
