Back from a week in lovely Pembrokeshire. One from Tenby harbour with a bit of in-camera and post-processing messing around.

Roadwork in Edinburgh is a nightmare - beautiful artwork to remind people that local businesses are still open.
I suspect many of the millions of visitors that come to the National Mall every year do not realize there is a scenic park and lake called Constitution Gardens. It's bounded by Constitution Avenue and the Reflecting Pool near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. I go by every time I'm near to see what wildlife is there. I've seen the ubiquitous Mallards and Canada Geese of course, but also Northern Shovelers, Ring-necked Ducks, Pie-billed Grebes, Great Blue Herons, Egrets and Night Herons.
This is an early morning shot from Easter morning looking northwest. The high-rise buildings in the distance are in Rosslyn, VA across the Potomac River from DC.

Constitution Hill - Old Fort , Women's Jail e Number Four.
Le celle di isolamento (le celle più antiche del sito) terrificanti e traumatiche.
Le dimensioni di queste celle non superavano i 3/4 metri quadri.
Sulla destra, una delle ultime celle è chiusa solo da sbarre.
Qui venivano reclusi i detenuti più riottosi o meno collaborativi, al freddo spesso bagnati e seminudi.
In realtà una condanna a morte.
Constitution Hill - Old Fort, Women's Jail and Number Four.
The isolation cells (the oldest cells on the site) terrifying and traumatic.
The dimensions of these cells did not exceed 3/4 square meters.
On the right, one of the last cells is closed only by bars.
Here the most rebellious or less cooperative inmates were imprisoned, often wet and half-naked in the cold.
Actually a death sentence.

USS Constitution, first launched in 1797 is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world. The ships greatest glory came during the war of 1812 when she defeated four British frigates which earned her the nickname "Old Ironsides," because cannon balls simply glanced off her thick hull.
Construction began November 1794 at Edmund Hartt's shipyard in Boston, materials used in her construction consisted of pine and oak, including southern live oak, which was cut and milled near St. Simons, Georgia. Constitution's hull was built 21 inches thick making her impenetrable by cannon fire. Overall size is 204 ft by 43 ft..
Constitution Week is the commemoration of America's most important document. This celebration of the Constitution was started by the Daughters of the American Revolution. In 1955, the DAR petitioned Congress to set aside September 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was later adopted and signed into public law on 2 August 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The airplane version of the Constitution is the Lockheed XR6O-1 large cargo and passenger transport. The first Constitution was completed 15 months after the end of World War II and the second followed several months later. With a wingspan of nearly 190 feet and a length of 156 feet, the Constitution could carry up to 204 passengers. The first XR6O was delivered to the U.S. Navy on 2 February 1949 (which may be what this picture shows, as the file photo didn’t have a caption) and the second followed about six months later. The two Constitutions were flown by Navy Transport Squadron 44 (VR-44) at NAS Alameda, California, and would serve until 1953. Both aircraft were eventually scrapped, one in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the other in Florida. www.lockheedmartin.com/codeonemagazine
Constitution Hill from the promenade in Aberystwyth, 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. Nearby is the Borth – Clarach Site of Special Scientific Interest. The hill itself is often referred to as "Consti" by locals.

USS Constitution on a rainy evening.
USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world. It was first launched in 1797. Constitution is one of six ships ordered for construction by George Washington to protect America's growing maritime interests. The ships greatest glory came during the war of 1812 when she defeated four British frigates which earned her the nickname "Old Ironsides"; because cannon balls glanced off her thick hull. The ship was restored in 1927 with contributions from the nation's school children.
The Charlestown Navy Yard was built on what was once Mouton's or Morton's Point, the landing place of the British army prior to the Battle of Bunker Hill. It was one of the first shipyards built in the United States. During its 174 year history, hundreds of ships were built, repaired and modernized, including the World War II destroyer USS Cassin Young. Today, thirty acres of the Navy Yard are preserved by the National Park Service as part of Boston National Historical Park.

The USS Constitution, compassionately known as “Old Ironsides,” is a ship constructed in 1794 as the beginnings of the new U.S. Navy. Far from simply being a great American icon, she represented a new path of shipbuilding. She was one of six frigates designed to be more heavily armed and armored than other ships of her size, while still being fast enough to evade enemy men-o-wars.
Her design proved effective and after winning the first victory against the British Navy in the War of 1812, the USS Constitution was kept from the scrapyard. Now, she is the oldest ship still afloat—even sailing under her own sails and performing salutes for special occasions.
Here is your chance to have this world-famous ship sail its way across your desk or perform salutes from your shelf! This model is solidly designed from stem to stern and is highly detailed, allowing you to reenact all of your favorite battles.
Features:
A Full Compliment! The model is roughly to nanofigure scale and comes with several figures representing officers and crewmen.
Head Below! Two separately removable deck sections allow access to the gundeck. That deck is complete for display or play with, stairs, ladders, cannons, carronades, powder kegs, and even bilge pumps.
Stowing Away? A section of the hull may be removed to access the cargo hold belowdecks.
Raise Anchors! Spin the Capstan to raise the anchors. The pulleys are hidden out of sight so as not to distract from play or display.
We’re Going to Need a Bigger Bottle: At nearly 2400 pieces, this model measures 74.1cm (2.4ft) long and 65.3cm (2.1ft) tall without the display base.
So unfurl the mains and set sail with this Eagle of the Sea!

While poking around the Boston & Maine's North Billerica shops, a friend and I stumbled across this 50' boxcar. I haven't been able to locate any information other thana set of model decals with a vague description. It apparently painted in honor of the bicentennial of the constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
