I recently tried these baked sweet crisps from Pepperidge Farm. They are only 90 calories for 20 small crisps and they do have a lovely chocolate taste. You feel as if you've had a sweet treat after, well a bit of one!
There was a recent article in the paper which says an old city policy advises people not to take photos in public parks and recreational facilities without permission.
Apparently landscapes or people at your own party are okay. It is meant to protect your privacy and it is good to be aware of this policy. I am always snapping photos I find interesting, fortunately it is usually things like scenery or food.

Those choccies look good! I home nobody tells me not to take photo along the Rhine! Valerie
These do look rather tasty, I must say!
People are always confused about what they can and cannot photograph. It isn't as black and white as that article states. Here is an article that will explain it a little better. Public Photography is No Crime. And here is a document that really explains things: Ontario Photographers Rights. It's important that individuals read up on what their rights are, so they are not misinformed...or intimidated.
Those crips look interesting. I haven't noticed them here. I'll check at the market; this is something I'd try.
Those crisps sound pretty great. I've managed to find a brand of my own that doesn't have a lot of calories or fat. Baked crisps are good for that. Nothing chocolate flavoured though.
I thought it would be common sense to not take pictures of people without their permission. Kind of odd that now we actually have to tell people not to do that. At least they have made it clear that yeah, taking pictures of the scenery is okay. It does seem to be a "Don't take pictures of people without their permission" kind of thing.
Thanks for this great info Martha, I have saved those links for future reference, whew!
yes Mark, common sense is the operative word here.
Well, check your local newspaper. If there are photos, is there permission?
Last week I read about a municipal park that didn't allow posed photos. Evidently it's very popular with wedding parties and during nice weather city residents were complaining all the parking spaces were filled up.
actually Kathy in our neighbourhood you have to buy a permit to take wedding photos in our parks.
Nice to eat something crispy and sweet. Permission for photos I too go with it.
Interesting stuff. Neat about the crisps. I like a bit of chocolate and crunch together.
The crisps look yummy! Interesting about the photography guidelines.
We usually don't have any rules like that in America. Private-property photos can be another story though obviously.
But typically if anyone wanted to challenge a local law in a public park or place, most courts would over-turn the law because of the 1st amendment.
I was in Old Navy with Daisy one day and one lady flipped out because she thought I took her photograph with an iPod. She didn't even say a word until we walked outside. She had a whole cart full of clothes at the door making the beepers go off. I hope she had fun explaining that one.
I take pictures everywhere I go, as does a friend of mine. We try not to get people in the photos, but it often cannot be helped. I feel that public places are just that, public. You will be seen by others.
I was figuring public places are OK, especially since we're not publishing names. However, I'd better be a lot more careful from now on.
