I know, the law is that you can photograph if you are in a public place. The square is private so they could ask me to leave.

The lens I was using was too long for walking around in the square anyway - LOL. I couldn't get far enough away from anyone there. I could have walked across the street and gotten the same shots with that lens. And the law says that if you can see something in a private space from a public space then the person in the private space can not expect to not be photographed.

But, that's okay. The intent was to provide some privacy for the people trying to enjoy themselves, and I respect that. There is enough stress without my adding to it.

There are plenty of places I can photograph, I see no reason to cause a scene.
