Ken Livingstone, Lord Mayor of London, wanted to have notices put up

stuff! It's asking for vigilantes to start beating up innocent
photographers, isn't it?
It is an unfortunate sign of the times. Things are not yet so bad,
here, in North America, but it's going that way.
Last year, here in quiet, tiny Logan Lake, I was taking some photos
of our grandkids, playing on the swings and slides. I was standing
back, some distance, using a 200mm lens, so as not to intrude on
them, and to get natural expressions and laughter. (Yes, they were
fully clothed.) A young lady, part of a group of two young (14 - 17
or so) couples, accused me of being a "pervert"! Mind you, she did
look a wee bit sheepish, afterwards, when one of the kids called out
to his Grampa!
Cheers!
