[Leica] Re:Forbidden building

[leicachris at worldnet.att.net (Christopher Williams)]

During WWII, Germans living in New Orleans(including ambassadors) were using 
their cameras(on fishing trips) to photograph the 
waterways in and around the mouth of the Mississippi River. Of course now we 
know there was no way a U-Boat could get into the Miss 
River but they had excellent targets at the mouth of the river to shoot at 
for 2 years before we actually did something about it.

I've never had any problems here photographing bridges, but like Jeff 
pointed out, the local gov does not like their refineries 
photographed.
