paraniona rules

[mudman]

when i was down at Dunrossil Drive taking the 'towards the light' image, i was waiting for the light when an AFP security cop drives up and approaches me
my first response was 'am i in trouble' to which he replied, with a smile, no
i was at least 400 metres from the gate of Government house, in fact, from where i was you could not see the gate
the cop agreed with me that i was not doing anything illeagel, and and that since we were in a public place i was quite entitled to be there and take photographs
it turns out one of the departing staff had called in saying someone was up the road with a camera, and therefore the security cops had to check it out
the cop asked for my ID, which i gave him, and he said that i would probably not be bothered again. i bet they ran my details through their system big time
like i said paraniona rules the world now

We had to go to an evening reception at Government House in Sydney last year and I was quite surprised when we visited to check things out before hand. We were able to walk into the grounds, big camera and all.
Worth a visit for the different views of the harbour plus more.
