Grand Central Terminal

A few days ago I went on a little walk, to take some photos of New York at night and to try out my new fabulous tripod. The pictures I took are clearly not going to play the most interesting part in this post, so let’s just forget about them for now:-)
My little walk got me down to 42. Street where I decided to take some photos of the well known Grand Central Station.
Inside the station I found some good motives, took out my camera and unfolded my tripod. And that was the closest I got to actually take a photo inside the enormous building. Because instead of seeing my motive in the seeker of my camera. I saw a military look alike security guard, waving at me in an odd way. A strange kind of expression that I actually think is the military sign of - don’t even think about taking a picture of my station-
At first I thought that they for some kind of reason do not allow people to take photos inside the station. But no…
The security guard told me that I was not aloud to use my tripod when taking photos of the station. And when I asked him why, he told me to go talk to the station manager.
Well unfortunately the station manager wasn’t there at the time but, I did talk to an employee who explained to me that I have to get some kind of instructions before using the tripod in the station…
Conclusion:
I still love this city, but not being able to use my tripod when taking pictures inside Grand Central, that sure did hurt…
But I seriously would love to get free instructions in how to unfold my tripod in the right way, so if anyone wants to join me, you just have to call the station manager:-)
