I had the intentions of covering more areas of this magnificent building, but the security guards were banning taking photographs inside the premises. I couldn’t get from them any gesture of cooperation, so I had to store my camera with resignation.
Lately authorities are very nervous about picture taking at banks, buildings and commercial sites. I hope they calm down as days pass. I need to take pictures for my blog. Good Day.
