This is a Silhouette of bronze statues of the four Beatles created by sculptor Andy Edwards & unveiled in 2015..........
For this week’s Macro Mondays theme of ‘Beatles/Beetles’ I have chosen to depict the Beatles song Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown). The song was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and was first released on the album Rubber Soul in December 1965.
The ‘link’ in the image is the pinecone (from one of the pine family of trees - pine, spruce, fir, cedar etc), which is synonymous with Norway and the piece of bark which I picked up during a recent walk. The background is an artificial spruce Christmas tree. Needs must as they say!
For this shot, I have used 2 Bowens Gemini Esprit lights. The main light (camera left) is a GM250 fitted with a large softbox. The second is a GM125, which was placed above and to the rear of the subject. Another very simple lighting set-up!
We spent last weekend in Liverpool and came across this statue quite by accident, instantly recognised as we had seen photos of it.
It was nice to see groups of tourists patiently waiting their turn to have a shot taken with the boys. The one Rod took of me is in the first comment.
HSS and Thursday Monochrome 😀

The de Young Museum in San Francisco is currently showing an exhibit of photos entitiled 'Eyes of the Storm' that record the Beatles' experiences from late 1963 and early months of 1964 when Beatlemania erupted in the UK. It also records their tours to Paris, New York, Washington, D.C. and Miami. The exhibit was initially shown at the National Gallery in London.
Inspired by the re-discovery of nearly a thousand photographs taken by McCartney on a 35mm camera, the exhibit also includes images made by other photographers of the Beatles and their associates.
It was an extraordinary time in the lives of these four young men as they became "the most famous people on the planet."
Seeing the exhibit certainly took me back to the 1960's and the first appearance of the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Thanks for stopping by!

HMM everyone!!
For the Macro Mondays theme "Beatles/Beetles" I wanted to illustrate their song 'Sun King'.
Here comes the sun king
Here comes the sun king
Everybody's laughing
Everybody's happy
Here comes the sun king
Quando paramucho mi amore de felice carazón
Mundo paparazzi mi amore chica ferdi para sol
Questo obrigado tanto mucho que canite carousel
"Sun King" is a song written primarily by John Lennon, but credited to Lennon–McCartney and recorded by the Beatles for their 1969 album Abbey Road.

Every artist needs some inspiration and, for this picture, mine was the White Album. Loved that album!
One of my son's favorite cars to play with a Volkswagon Beatle monster truck in metallic green, the car must be more then 10 years old and it is beaten up after this time of use.
HMM!!
7th December 2015 - The new statue of The Beatles on Pierhead which was designed by Andy Edwards and unveiled to mark the 50th anniversary of the bands final Liverpool gig at the Empire theatre.
To me it almost looks like the 4 lads are walking back onto Pierhead together for the first time in 50 years and looking around them with an equal mixture of amazement, wonder and dismay...
