Is this Bundaberg's Abbey Road?
I WALKED past a classic old VW Beetle recently, parked near the Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery in Barolin Street.
Then I saw the zebra crossing nearby.
It all rang a bell. I walked to the other side of the crossing for a photo, but a four-wheel drive vehicle then parked behind the VW, obscuring my "Abbey Road-ish" view.
The 4WD driver got out, and went into the Post Office.
I knew he was only in a 10-minute parking zone, so I waited patiently with camera ready.
He came back out, but stayed in his car for another 10 minutes or so. Reading a book? I don't know.
I just wanted him to move.
Please move your car, so I can get my photo!
Finally, he drove off and I took a few pics, just in time before another car parked behind.
Then the Beetle drove off.
Alas, it didn't have the number plate "28IF" from the Abbey Road album cover. And even worse, no Beatles.
Only the Beetle. And the zebra crossing.
But to me, it still seemed to echo the famous Beatle LP cover.
Amazing how iconic that simple Abbey Road cover photo has become, and gets more so, as time goes by.
The web is full of different versions of it. This is my version. My (little) Story.
