Good point @Blademonkey. I will give it a go - maybe start with the guys at work !

It's set up in a disused quarry as a art center for stone sculptures.Fascinating! Would this have been 'officially' sanctioned? Or is it more of a 'Banksy' with a chisel...?

Good, it's always courteous to ask for permission and it can still be natrual as you can see in my artist picture, he just carried on as he was doing before, you can just take shots of people without their permission but in this day and age people tend to get suspicious of people taking photographs of them if you get spotted!Good point @Blademonkey.

More hidden gems in the backyards.
Thanks!@Helveticum - Great picture. The side and back-streets are where you might learn about a city I've often found - with it's skirts' raised. The Spanish do graffiti very well and it's a given as the backdrop for a picture. I've followed with interest the various comments and contributions today about the idea of photographing strangers - what's the etiquette? - if that's a way of putting it. A subject of interest to me as a photographer. It's changed over the years and entirely depends on the culture you are in - in my experience. Cheers - I
Thanks!
As for the etiquette - so what's your current stance on this? Are you willing to "lose" a great shot if you feel like someone might get agitated?
Also, I've also traveled a little bit (just over 30 countries), so would be curious to hear/compare - what countries do you think are more reserved in that manner, and where you wouldn't feel comfortable shooting openly without permission?
