I simply told him I understood and asked if I could take a photo of the frozen river without the bridge. He told me it would be okay to stand on the dike/retaining wall (there is a footpath on the retaining wall which goes all the way up to the next bridge crossing the Delaware River). In any case, I didn't give him a hard time which must have made him feel guilty, and as I was walking away, he said he'd be leaving in about 1/2 hour. I took that to imply I could take a photo then, but I simply smiled and told him I'd be gone within that time. I think the Trentonian was able to take the photo because there isn't a guard station on the New Jersey side of the bridge.I have taken a handful of bridge photos since then, but it has limited the number of times I've tried (have not been stopped by a guard since though). The guard even told me the government searches online for bridge photos and has them removed, but there are a ton of bridge photos including the Trenton Makes Bridge that is pictured here. Bridges have always fascinated me so it's hard to stop altogether. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
