In Namur (Belgium), where I live, I think we are not allowed to publish night pictures of the citadel and of the bridges on the rivers nearby (all public space and the city landmarks) because the artist who designed the lighting claims he has a copyright on it. He won in court against a local photographer if I remember correctly.
Examples of copyrighted views would be: http://yvescaudano.be/galleries/showpicture.html?gallery=misc&pic=13 and http://yvescaudano.be/galleries/showpicture.html?gallery=misc&pic=14
I find very disturbing that it is not allowed to take pictures of the main cityscape at night.
