That's fair enough - except that in the UK we have public rights of way, typically classified as 'footpath', 'bridleway', and 'road'. These are effectively public spaces, although in law the public have only the right to 'pass and re-pass' along them. In law, being able to photograph from public rights of way - even though these rights of way may well pass through 'private' ground - is allowed. Or should be allowed - most security people would doubtless vehemently oppose knowing anything of the kind. My point is not to advocate an adversarial situation - but simply to know the laws of the land. Little solace then to the singleton photographer though, I know.... -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ---------- http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
