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.

This Hobart set is connected with the history of school education systems in Australia, and sits between two chapters in the devolvement of aspects of nationally consistent education policy ...
Working with my CEO, I used to manage all of the administrative work for a national expert advisory group that was responsible for the nationally consistent measurement and reporting of school and student education performance information. We chose Hobart, and the Hotel Grand Chancellor, as the site of our last meeting, before handing over our processes and records to the newly established Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA).
This may alarm some Australian readers – at this time, the advisory group (i.e. primarily me) was responsible for the contract management of the 2010 NAPLAN test, covering the gap in time while the test administration was being transferred from an entity based in Melbourne to ACARA in Sydney. This was because all of the National Assessment Program was managed out of Queensland, as our education CEO was the permanent chair of the advisory group, which reported to the national education CEOs' committee and the relevant Ministerial Council. How on earth i ever found myself in such a position, I will never know! :-)
It was also related work with education data that landed me in Albuquerque New Mexico for the first time, as seen elsewhere in my Flickr blog. It's a long story ...

The Consititutional Convention delegates met here during the Summer of 1787. What the delegates to that convention did, and the document they forged through months of arguing, listening, deliberating, and compromising changed the world.
Now the building may seem rather small compared to the surroundings....to me however, it is very grand indeed.
At the time of the convention, it was the Pennsylvania State House, only later becoming known as Independence Hall.

The USS Constitution ("Old Ironsides") the world's oldest commissioned warship still afloat (1797) is the main attraction for Fourth of July festivities, but the harbor is filled with all shapes and sizes of sailing vessels and water craft in her honor. The flight path for aircraft in and out of Logan Airport is directly overhead, adding a certain excitement to the day's festivities.

USS Constitution, also known as Old Ironsides, is a three-masted wooden-hulled heavy frigate of the United States Navy. She is the world's oldest commissioned naval warship still afloat. Constitution is most noted for her actions during the War of 1812 with the United Kingdom, when she captured numerous British merchantmen and five warships. She is usually berthed at Pier 1 of the former Charlestown Navy Yard at one end of Boston's Freedom Trail.
Prompt: A dramatic, high-resolution digital painting of a historic U.S. Navy tall ship resembling the USS Constitution, battling a storm at sea. The ship, with fully unfurled sails straining in the wind, rides towering, crashing waves of a rough, tumultuous ocean. Swirling storm clouds fill the sky, pierced by flashes of lightning. Cannon fire erupts from the ship’s gun ports, with bright muzzle flashes and smoke trailing out over the churning water. The American flag billows violently in the wind. The scene is intensely dynamic and cinematic, capturing the chaos and bravery of naval warfare during the Age of Sail. Ultra-detailed, high contrast lighting, epic maritime atmosphere. Horizontal aspect ratio.
