This street approaches a temple.  As I was photographing, a random person accosts me telling me I can not photograph there.  There were signs up saying the temple can not be photographed but I&#8217;m at least half of a block from the temple and this part of the street is absolutely not the temple.  Random person is yelling about how he&#8217;s going to call the police.  I point out to him that signs say no photographs of the temple and this is no the temple.  Rando insists photographs of the &#8220;temple area&#8221; are prohibited and I must delete my photographs.  I have no doubt his claim about the temple area is completely and utterly false.  But to get him to go away I delete the photographs.  Cameras use descendent of the ancient FAT filesystem from the DOS days on their memory cards so it&#8217;s easy to undelete stuff if you haven&#8217;t written more images so I undelete the images later.  In the US, I would have yelled back at this idiot to call cops so I could ask them to arrest him from wasting the police&#8217;s time since I know aside from national security installations, it legal to photograph anything thanks to the 1st amendment but in foreign countries, I try to avoid unnecessary run-ins with the police.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This image feels appropriate for a week where much of the world is shut down.
