I'm not sure you can publish a picture of a private residence without obtaining a release from the owner. (I wouldn't try it.) And I could see that varying from one jurisdiction to another.
Regarding the legal situation wrt HarryT's avatar, that wasn't settled (even though HarryT and the copyright holders of the character, model, and photograph respectively were all in the same legal jurisdiction). We didn't even get consensus on the moral question. The closest we came was agreeing that the copyright holder of the Dalek image was unlikely to come after HarryT for the usage.
