12. would someone expect a picture to be taken there?

A locker room is not a public park. Nobody was taking a shower on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

These are the steps of the Lincoln Memorial:



That particular picture was taken and is shown on the blog of the woman in pink in the center.

In order to have that picture taken of herself on those steps, did anyone say to the two girls on the right that their picture from that angle was going to be published on the internet?

However, at any given time anywhere from dozens to hundreds of people are sitting on that major tourist attraction, and just as many are taking pictures of it.

What would you do? Ban taking pictures at one of the most photographed objects in DC, or ban people sitting on the steps in short skirts? Because you are going to have to do one or the other.
