## Redactions and permissions
|
||
|
||
- The facade photo's foreground crowd (bottom 30%) was cropped out before committing; no faces were
|
||
blurred because none remain at the committed crop.
|
||
- The remaining files only contain incidental pedestrians at street distance (a few pixels tall);
|
||
no identifiable faces, plates or interiors.
|
||
- Public frontage only; no interiors, no staff, no property-permission requirement.
