Copyright warning: The subject of this image is believed to be protected by copyright.

It is believed that the taking, uploading and reuse of this derivative work is permitted under the copyright law of the country in which the photograph was taken, possibly with some restrictions, because the subject was permanently located in a public place. In Germany, this exception is known as Panoramafreiheit; many other countries have similar exceptions which are referred to on Commons by the generic term freedom of panorama.

Freedom of panorama does not apply in all countries, and often applies only to photographs of buildings that are permanently located in a public place. In some countries the freedom may apply more broadly. It may or may not extend to sculptures and/or to subjects that are not in a "public place" but are in a "place to which the public has access". The allowed usage of this picture, if any, depends upon the laws of the country of creation and may also depend on the laws of the country in which the derived image is to be used. See Commons:Freedom of panorama for a country by country list.
