How can you not believe in miracles after this?

Last year, one head of the barrier tried to forbid me to shoot with a tripod. Was of course politely sent. He did not calm down, even called the police. Was sent a second time, already by the police.

Maybe the White Square is now also the guards are not so strange? And then they also looked at the tripod as a weapon.
