Do you want to be safe or do you want to be free? You can't have both, no matter what they say.

Anyone else think "Homeland" sounds like "Fatherland"?

Yeah. I thought I was the only one who made that connection... :confused:

"Motherland" was the term used by the old CCCP so you know we weren't going there...

A bridge and a power plant in the same shot?

Had you thrown in a Federal Government Building as well, you could have had the OHS "Trifecta..." ;)

Yeah, they are keeping a little closer eye on these things since 9/11...

Somewhere, on an external HD and a couple of CD's, I have a couple of pictures of the Chickamauga dam. It's a hydroelectric plant, with a bridge over top of it. Oh, and it's owned by the federal government. I guess I've achieved the "trifecta".

I also have a couple of images of the Sequoyah Nuclear power plant taken from a boat on Chickamauga lake (the Tennessee River).

In some respects, I really don't like that they're so strict on photographers. It's ridiculous in some cases.

True but we "Peacefully Cooexsisted" the Soviets into submission...

(And we may have outspent them by some astronomical factor as well)

In the approximate words of Thomas Jefferson:

We sure don't pay for our creative freedom here in Canada. About the only sensitive areas in Canada are airports and consulate offices, if you want to shoot Parliament Hill you can go right ahead and unless you're using a 600mm to peer into the windows you won't get much resistance.

There used to be Canon gear here but it disappeared.
