Abbey Road

D300 200-400mm various settings

A playful take on the Beatles Abbey Road cover. A homeowner was talking to me as I photographed 4 toms in his backyard and, when they made their way across the road in front of his house, he mentioned that they reminded him of the Abbey Road cover. Of course, I couldn't actually get them to line up like this and there were no pavement stripes, but with a little PS work....

Nice.
Isn't it amazing that our shared cultural awareness makes this something beyond what we see?

LOL Bob and I did get it before I read your narrative. The patterns and shapes are also interesting together to me, concept aside.
