feeling observed

In the afternoons when I leave work I always walk through the Queen's crib. It is a quite nice walk surrounded by beautiful buildings. Of course there are guards standing there protecting the Queen. Or maybe just for show with their fancy clothes and tall hats. It is the same in Stockholm though.

Every afternoon I have to walk past one of the positioned guards and I always feel so observed. They have to keep an eye on everything and everyone I guess. But it just feels strange passing the guard just one or two meeters in front of him. I always feel somewhat unsecure and do not really know where to lay my eyes. Usually I just look straight ahead but sometimes I feel I should just give the guard a smile as a hello.
