I take photographs of architecture all the time, so I know my rights in regard to this kind of thing. I make sure that I am taking photographs from a public area, or I have paid the owner of the property for photography rights, which are often purchasable at many tourist sites. I have only once been harassed by a security guard for taking photographs of a building, but since I was taking photos of it from a public area there was really nothing that the security guard could do about it.

That said you cannot take photos of Trafalgar Square without written permission from the Mayor, and the payment of a fee.

If someone can just waltz by, click a camera, and then make 50,000 off the image of someone else's land, then we don't live under true capitalist Exploitation. In such a case, there's too much room for social mobility and equality and that ought to be genuinely upsetting.

I found the breakfast cereal of the convenant, and the secret prize was a fortune cookie saying Nietzsche wasn't feeling very well at the moment, and his health insurance had been divinely cancelled.
