Zebra Crossing...

At Abbey Road
 
The Zebra Crossing - Abbey Road Studions is the white house just beyond the crossing.  A lot of people were trying to reenact the iconic picture which held up traffic.  The group in the photo above lead by the girl in yellow couldn't seem to get it right.  They did it over and over again which held up traffic.  I was a bit embarrassed for them!  

  
Original picture


  
Abbey Road Studios - The Beatles, recorded 90% of their recordings at Abbey Road studios. In April 1969, they came together to record their final album as a group and titled it ‘Abbey Road.’ This album became their best selling work and featured Abbey Road Studios and the now iconic image of the zebra crossing on the front cover.

 

Graffiti outside the studio's gates...

Apparently the studio is up for sale due to EMI's debt - read more!

New Year's Message...

A little late I know...






Even more Brussels...

 
Royal Palace - although very grand it looked like a very abandoned building.  Given it was the holidays and there were absolutely NO decorations of any kind.  It was kind of spooky actually!! 

More Brussels...

 Parc Du Cinquantenaire

I'm Back!!

More Brussels...
 
Sorry for the pants photo, but while in Brussels we happened to be following this young woman who was walking her ferret on a leash.  It was quite fantastic and put me in mind of how much I want a ferret - JD vetoed the idea right away.  We ended up passing her and her little ferret too - it was cute!!
