I think this was taken just before the outbreak of WW1. Constitution Hill stretches up to and around the Constitution or Wellington Arch. It wasn't far from here where Sir Robert Peel fell off his horse and later died from his injuries. It also wasn't far from here where an attempt on the life of Queen Victoria took place in June 1840, one of many failed attempts.
In a press conference in Juba on 8 December 2021, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Nicholas Haysom, updated media on the peace process and the general situation in South Sudan. The SRSG highlighted the commendable progress made by parties since the signing of the peace agreement but noted that the pace of implementation remains too slow. He said if this situation continues, there is a risk that the viability of the broader agreement will come under threat – a concern recently expressed by analysts and commentators. “There cannot continue to be a ‘business-as-usual’ approach. The parties must inject fresh urgency into the process and demonstrate a sustained, collective political will to finalize critical areas of the agreement.” Those areas include transitional security arrangements, legislation promoting financial and judicial reform, and constitution-making so that elections can be held.

Constitution Hall in Lecompton Kansas. It was home to a land office on the first floor, a district courthouse, and from 1857-1858 was home to the territorial legislature. It was here that a second attempt was made at creating a constitution for Kansas. The Lecompton Constitution in 1857 was pro-slavery and was never ratified. Kansas tried 3 more times to create a constitution but it was not until 1859 that the Wyandotte Constitution, a free-state constitution was ratified.

located on the both the Piscataqua river and the Atlantic Ocean. Here's the history lesson, formerly known as Fort William and Mary was a British held munitions depot. In 1774 the New Hampshire Friends of Liberty stormed the fort and raided the munitions. The fort was renamed "Fort Constitution" in 1808. Now it shares space with the Coast Guard and visitors have to follow and stay on this stupid blue line across their parking lot to get to the fort.
While walking through Constitution Gardens the other day, I came across these ducklings in the pond. At first I thought it might have been the same group photographed by philliefan99 and andertho, but I think the markings are slightly different, and as Phil pointed out, there are many broods of ducklings born in this area this time of year.

Canadian article: Criminal complaint of Treason against Barack Hussein Obama
By Sher Zieve Wednesday, June 17, 2009
In light of the now almost daily bombardment of the US Constitution by the sitting US Commander in Chief, the question ‘is our Constitution still the law of the land?’ is increasingly being asked by We-the-People. The problem of Barack Hussein Obama seeming not to be a natural-born citizen is still an extremely salient issue—an issue that has led Obama to hire a team of lawyers to keep all information on his actual country of birth and all of his college records hidden. The latest estimate on the fees charged to do so is over $1Million.
This, coupled with Obama’s continued and strong apparent push to completely bankrupt the USA and turn it into his own personal totalitarian utopia has led to unprecedented actions by some US citizens.
Recently, retired Navy Commander Walter Francis Fitzpatrick III filed a criminal complaint of Treason against Barack Hussein Obama. This has prompted other individuals around the country to do the same. As our Republic now stands on the brink of complete collapse, I thought an interview of Commander Fitzpatrick was in order.
A brief portion of Commander Fitzpatrick’s BIO includes: “Walter enlisted in the Navy in 1969 directly after graduating Villanova. After boot camp at Great Lakes Naval Training Center Walter attended the Naval Academy Preparatory School in Bainbridge, MD. After one year he entered the U.S. Naval Academy. He graduated with the Class of 1975 with top military honors.
“Commander Fitzpatrick trained as a surface warfare officer and spent his entire career aboard ships or in school preparing to go back to a ship. Commander Fitzpatrick spent 12 of his first fourteen years at sea and made eight overseas deployments. Commander Fitzpatrick was variously assigned duties as Assistant Operations Officer, First Lieutenant, Gunnery Officer, Operations Officer, Engineering Officer, Training Officer and Executive Officer. He served in USS STERETT (CG - 31), USS MARVIN SHIELDS (FF - 1066), USS MOBILE (LKA - 115), USS MARS (AFS -1), and USS CARL VINSON (CVN -70). Commander Fitzpatrick served on the staff of COMMANDER - MIDDLE EAST FORCE (COMIDEASTFOR) as Communications Officer and Schedueling Officer. The COMMIDEASTFOR staff was embarked in USS LaSALLE (AGF - 3).”

Here are the two of them together. I would have prefered red wheels for the red and black engine, but I just did not have the red wheels for the tender and I don't think they make the very small wheels in red for the front truck, at least I have never seen them?

I was pleased to be invited by the Kingwood Tea Party to its August 19, 2013 Constitution Day Celebration at the Kingwood Civic Center. These functions of KWTP are often opportunities to meet some interesting people, hear some interesting views, and photograph some interesting politicians, like Ted Poe, Rick Perry and Ted Cruz.
