I suspect that I had missed a sign about not taking photography or had not heard him early on when they first speak to us. Back in the 80's, I went to the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London to see the part of the museum dedicated to Admiral Lord Nelson and at that time, there was no problem about taking photos; however, now it is near impossible to do so. But on a trip to the Getty Museum in Los Angeles (when it first opened), photography was allowed, but I found it very distracting. That is why I waited until the Oval Office area and Lady Bird's office were clear before taking the few photos I did.

I suppose the Tower does contain the Crown Jewels so there is possible argument to be made about security, although it is much more likely imo that some minor functionary felt that people taking photographs was an invasion of his/her domain.

Kilgore, a number of years ago, I took a tour of the Tower of London and whilst there, I happened to take a photo of Traitor's Gate and the tour guide became very, very upset with me for taking the photo. I thought later that had there been a Beefeater (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeomen_Warde rs
)
close by where I was, I might have been taken to
the block and lost my head. Nowadays, I am very
careful not to offend those that have a sign
saying, *No Photography Allowed.*

Tom, had there been people in the room with me, for their sake, I would not have taken this panorama when I did. As you can imagine, there are items to be seen in the LBJ Library that bring back to thos that see them, a flood of memories ... some good and some that arn't so good. I met one person a few feet from where I stood to take this panorama who had served in Vietnam and after all these many years, this was his first visit to the Library and you could easily see that he was affected by what he was seeing.

Agreed Tom!

At a time when many public areas are off-limits to photography, it's refreshing to see this panorama was allowed. Nice job with hand-held alignment, too. Well done, David!
