Oh hello Lloyd
I have actually had no problems with shooting Buildings
Mind You , I have not done Government buildings and the NY Stock Exchange on weekends ( when its Closed).
I have a Great Way with talking my way In & Out of Situations
and that Feminine Mystique called Charm works Wonders
with the occasional touch of ones hand on someones Shoulder....
:ROTFL:have had a few run ins with shooting People on the Street
but luckily resolved those scenarios with a
& Good Cheer.Best- H

Santiago Calatrava designs bridges with a characteristic structure that resembles a harp, and naturally the City of David would like to have one. But we have no rivers to cross. So our city fathers decided to engage Mr. Calatrava to do a bridge to carry pedestrians and a future light rail system across the main road entrance to the city. This makes for a rather accessible and human scale environment covering several blocks, but visible from many points in the new city. Even as the construction was begun, the eventual stringed structure was simulated with a bizarre combination of a temporary crane and strings of Christmas lights:
which were soon replaced by the real thing:
The mingling of old and new Jerusalem is of course a little jarring
The whole gallery is here .

Amazing stuff.

I think you have to credit Calatrava for figuring out how to snake this bridge through the blocky stone (and concrete) buildings. The "Power Lines" are kind of magical, but they only hold up the bridge, from one side, as the other floats free.That LAST shot Scott is SUPERB...Great Composition!!!!!
the Curve amidst the Power Lines & Buildings...

The bridge is even visible from Liftah, a ruined village deep in a ravine below the city's entrance, but you need to wait for afternoon light to get this view:
