Turning the camera around towards the Hobart CBD you will get plenty of detail. That's the strength of the Nikon D850. In the foreground is one of a number of local fishing boats and in the background sits the majestic Mt Wellington/kunanyi.
You'll be able to see from the clocktower that the time is 9.20pm. Behind Mures - a Hobart seafood institution - you can just see the spire of St David's Anglican Cathedral, and on the far right the HCC (the art deco council building). The large old building in the centre of picture is the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (more on that after Christmas too).
In a week's time this dock will be filled with yachts completing the famous Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race. Last year it was cancelled because of the pandemic, but at the moment it all looks like going ahead with a start in Sydney Harbour on Boxing Day (December 26).
Constitution Hill is a hill in the Welsh town of Aberystwyth, situated to the north of the town.
The hill overlooks Cardigan Bay in Ceredigion, Wales, running between the town and the coastal settlements of Borth and Clarach bay to the north. The site provides good views of the Aberystwyth area and the sightline extends as far as Snowdonia National Park and north Pembrokeshire.
Since 1896, the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway has ascended to the hill's summit, and the summit features a camera obscura, which is a 1980s rebuild of a Victorian era building which was erected as part of the "Luna Park" recreation area.
At its peak runs the Clarach Footpath on the Wales Coast Path, which connects the town of Aberystwyth with Clarach Bay and Borth. The hill itself is often referred to as "Consti" by locals.[
Cádiz
The bridge of the Constitution of 18125 (originally called the Pepa bridge) is a cable-stayed bridge that crosses the bay of Cádiz, giving access to Cádiz from the mainland, being the third access to the city, after the link by the Isthmus of San Fernando and the Carranza bridge. The bridge is the continuation of the Southern highway, forming an integral part of the Access highway to Cádiz, being responsible for it by the Ministry of Development of the state government. The board is divided between the dual carriageway (two lanes in each direction) and another carriageway reserved for public transport.
The bridge began construction in 2008 and was opened on September 24, 2015.6 Once opened, it became the brightest bridge in Spain at 540 meters. Considering the cable-stayed bridges, it would be the third brightest bridge in Europe, after the Normandy bridge (856 m) and the Rio-Antirio bridge (three 560 m spans). The total work consists of the bridge over the bay, with a total length of 3,092m, 1,440 of which over the water, plus the 796m Río San Pedro Viaduct. With the accesses to the bridges, the work extends over 5 km.
The project was written by the engineer Javier Manterola and has been carried out by the Spanish company Dragados. The total cost of the project was 511 million euros.7

Bear Den Mountain, Adirondacks
I long for the days when I had a constitution of steel, driven to climb all of the peaks arrayed before me, and all the other compass points I could turn and look out at from this vantage point. This place has long been a favorite spot to break out my gear and look for compositions, whether as part of the longer hike south of me, or as a destination for a shorter outing. This morning the sun has gained on me, low in winter trajectory and casting its shadows as it clears the ridges behind me. Its burn highlights the iron oxide in an erratic deposited here in the pleistocene, as the massive ice sheets sculpted the Adirondack dome. North Country lore is sprinkled with iron. Furnaces and ore pits still stand in parts of the landscape, a history hinted at in my reddish-tinged granite boulder, posing on the verge of the Ausable Valley. I’ve been fortunate to have explored so much of America’s wildness; this country stands as hard as any landscape I’ve been in, and it hardens those willing to return after being scathed. Switchbacks were mostly unheard of up here, so topping these mountains is as much a matter of iron will as physical prowess. I have a long and chequered history of loves, romantic and spiritual, each accusing the other of time spent devoting my fidelities elsewhere. My regrets haunt me still. Rock will wear smooth, the forests will darken, iron will rust, and youth fades. The heart never concedes.

In Lecompton, Kansas. One of the oldest wood-frame buildings in Kansas was erected by Samuel Jones in 1856 and became the place where the Kansas Territorial Government convened. In the fall of 1857 (October 19), the Lecompton Constitutional Convention met and drafted a pro-slavery constitution in the upper story of the building. The downstairs was rented as the federal land office and private law offices. Many other historical events also occurred in the building. lecomptonkansas.com/learn/constitution-hall-state-histori...
As well as the viewing platform below there is a tower at the summit of Mount Constitution. I'm not convinced that the view is any better for the additional bit of height

The Hobart docks are a little quiet in this photograph. Most of the fishing boats must be out at sea.
Looking towards Hyde Park Corner. Buckingham Palace Garden lies on the other side of the wall to the left.
This is a favorite location of mine on the National Mall, particularly in winter and spring. A surprising number and variety of ducks are often seen there.
View LARGE for a closer look at the ducks and Cormorants.

The Norwegian Constitution Day is the National Day of Norway and is an official national holiday each year.
Among Norwegians, the day is referred to simply as syttande/syttende mai (meaning May Seventeenth), Nasjonaldagen (The National Day) or Grunnlovsdagen (The Constitution Day), although the latter is less frequent.
The Constitution of Norway was signed at Eidsvoll on May 17 in the year 1814. The constitution declared Norway to be an independent nation.

From Constitution Hill you get a superb view over one of my favourite British towns: Aberystwyth. It seems I'm not alone in having this viewpoint; Aberystwyth was recently voted one of the top ten small towns in the UK for a winter break, by readers of The Guardian.
Ancient bridge with lots of signs. The concrete thingy is the counterweight for the still-functioning lift bridge to allow vessels in and out of the inlet.
