I took a drive down to Geneva, Al. while I was at my mom's house for Christmas. I took this picture of constitution oak/living witness while I was there. The tree gets the name because it was here during the signing of the US Constitution. Probably one of the largest oaks I've seen. you can purchase prints through the link below
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).
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

Plaza de la Constitución, formerly called "Plaza del Aceite" located above the Roman forum, still houses Roman ruins in its subsoil, Badalona was the ancient Roman city Baetulo.
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
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...

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.

Spontaneous and disorganised group portrait from Glasgow, Scotland.
An old shot from 2017 that I had almost forgotten about. I took a couple of candid shots of these Norwegians in Glasgow and they asked me to make some group portraits for them in a spontaneous session on the banks of the River Clyde.
Wishing all of my Norwegian Flickr friends a fabulous "syttende mai" Constitution Day of Norway.
As street photographers I feel it is important to always give back. We 'take' our shots from the city so when people ask me to take a photograph of them I am always happy to do so, many of which I never share here on Flickr because it was a gift to them and not a photograph for me. Stay safe!
Enjoy!

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.
Going away to the cottage this weekend so this is me saying "hurra" "Hurra"

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.
People are in big confusion
they don't like their constitutions
Everyday they draw conclusions
And they're still prepared for war
Some can say what's ineffective
Some make up themselves attractive
Build up things they call protective
Well your life seems quite bizarre
Bridge:
In the sky a mighty eagle
Doesn't care 'bout what's illegal
On its wings the rainbow's light
It's flying to eternity
Chorus:
Eagle fly free
Let people see
Just make it your own way
Leave time behind
Follow the sign
Together we'll fly someday
Hey, we think so supersonic
And we make our bombs atomic
Or the better quite neutronic
But the poor don't see a dime
Nowadays the air's polluted
Ancient people persecuted
That's what mankind contributed
To create a better time
Bridge:
In the sky a mighty eagle
Doesn't care 'bout what's illegal
On its wings the rainbow's light

Let people see
Just make it your own way
Leave time behind
Follow the sign
Together we'll fly someday
Constitution Gardens is a 50 acre park located within the boundaries of the National Mall in Washington, DC. The park contains a small pond with an island, which is open to pedestrians.
We discovered this park while walking from the Vietnam Memorial to the World War II Memorial.
It provided a respite from the crowds and traffic which were abundant this spring day.
