A photograph of public property is copyrightable of course, but, at least in Canada, taking a picture of an permanently placed building or outdoor statue is not a breach of copyright, even if you intend to publish the photograph.
Oh really! That's very interesting. Even if the statue is still new enough to be under copyright in its own right?
(This is helpful given the topic of the site I was collecting the photos I originally asked about for.)

You can imagine a number of different fact situations with images of creative works, a statue still in the artist's workshop, in a private home, but on public display the situation is pretty clear, not a problem; a copy of a statue is a whole other matter, perhaps a hologram would be a significant fact change.
