Aug 26: Abbey Road

A cross posting from my Geography on/in Film blog and Cultcha blog.

Images emerged last week from the filming of four new films by Sam Mendes. Each film will focus on one member of The Beatles.

It was a picture of the band crossing the famous Abbey Road level crossing.

This is a much copied image. The article mentions some other bands which have created their own versions for album covers.

For locals it is also a source of frustration as they are held up by lots of tourists recreating the scene for a picture. Caveat: I've done that myself...

Abbey Road is my son's favourite Beatles album. We listened to it recently while on a Kent road trip.
