I stopped the car on the side of the road and once reaching the spot in the grass from where I wanted to take the picture, I started a struggle with strong winds and light rain. While the winds kept shaking the tripod, the rain kept reaching the glass of the lens. The whole thing took quite a while and was pretty annoying. When I saw a police car approaching, I got even more annoyed. From my experience with police and security guards in the US I got ready to explain myself and the things I am doing, stop photographing, move my car, or whatever. To my surprise, the officers just drove by slowly and waved friendly. A little remainder that I wasn't in the US, but in a place where crime, terrorism and the resulting paranoia does not exist.
