This is what your embassy looks like in Ottawa. Despite it's large size, it does actually fit well into the surrounding architecture.

wow! talk about taking civil liberties away. I can assure you that this building has been photographed from every angle possible, as has been every embassy in Ottawa.
I think it varies from countries. In Singapore, they also have much less security concerns. I'm sure it is much tighter in the middle east or places where there are higher probable terrorist attacks. I don't think the threat for terrorist is that high which explains the less visible security folks.
Based on my last visit to the US embassy in Manila ( 2yrs ago), we could take pictures outside the gates. If you are going in, you are reminded no picture-taking while inside.
