Images of the pedestrian crossing at the Abbey Road intersection in London are shown live on the Web 24 hours a day. The Beatles' album "Abbey Road" was released in 1969. That was 52 years ago. The album jacket shows four members walking on a pedestrian crossing. For some reason, Paul McCartney is walking barefoot.
Now, I'm relaxingly drinking a whiskey straight while watching the live video of the Abby Road intersection.
It's raining in London now. I have a lot to notice. It doesn't matter, but it's interesting.
One
The colors of cars passing on the road are often silver, white, black or dark. There are surprisingly few colorful colors (red, yellow, green, etc.) that have many images in Europe. However, the double-decker London bus is red.
Two
What I find interesting is the umbrella. Surprisingly, about 60 to 70% of people use foldable umbrellas. The shape of the bone of the umbrella and the shape of the tip of the umbrella indicate that it is a folding umbrella. Moreover, it is quite small. It's surprising because I thought the British gentleman was using a big umbrella. By the way, it is said that the folding umbrella originated in Germany. Some people have transparent vinyl umbrellas (vinyl umbrellas originated in Japan).
Three
There are few people wearing masks. It can be seen that the corona wreckage is settling down for the time being. However, it is not without people wearing masks. Is it about 10%?
Four
When observing in the daytime on Saturday and Sunday, I see many groups taking pictures of crossing the pedestrian crossing. They would be tourists. Perhaps it's still a longing place for those who came from rural England. Despite the fact that there are cars on the road, they are taking pictures in the middle of the road. Meanwhile, the car driver is waiting for the photo shoot to finish. You're a kind driver. No, it may be really angry.
Extra
Another day, I saw a squirrel crossing the road during the day. It is imagined that there is a park with abundant nature nearby.
The live video like this healed me today as well.
