“Abbey Road Studios (formerly EMI Recording Studios) is a recording studio at 3 Abbey Road, St John's Wood, City of Westminster, London, England. It was established in November 1931 by the Gramophone Company, a predecessor of British music company EMI, which owned it until Universal Music took control of part of EMI in 2013. The studio's most notable client was the Beatles, who used the studio – particularly its Studio Two room – to create many of the most beloved songs in popular music history. Through the recording of these songs, the studio saw the development of innovative recording techniques that the band adopted throughout the 1960s. In the 1970s, the studio was renamed from EMI in honour of the group's 1969 album Abbey Road.” (Abbey Road Studios, Wikipedia)

‘Nebuta’ Aomory city float
British Museum
Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury
London, January 2002

“‘Nebuta’ refers to the float of a brave warrior-figure which is carried through the center of the city, while dancers wearing a unique type of costume called haneto (ハネト) dance around in time with the chant Rasserā (ラッセラー) (shorten dialectal version of ‘irasshai’, calling visitors and customers to watch or join). In the local dialect, participation in the festival is inquired using the verb haneru (ハネル, ex. ‘今日もハネル?’ or ‘Are you going to haneru today?’), which was derived from the Japanese spelling of the haneto costume and the verb haneru (跳ねる, ‘bounce’).” (Aomori Nebuta Matsuri, Wikipedia)

Temporary pier
Hungerford Bridge
London, January 2002

“The 300 m (980 ft) long decks were raised using an innovative method called incremental launching, in which each 50 m (160 ft) long section was pulled across the river using a 250 m (820 ft) long steel truss weighing 300 tonnes. This process was repeated five times until each deck spanned the river, supported by six temporary piers made of steel and concrete. The seven 25-tonne pylons were then raised over the subsequent two weeks. Once the pylons had been installed, the decks were jacked up to enable their connection with the cable stays suspended from the pylons. The concrete deck was then lowered into its final position and the temporary piers and supports were dismantled.” (Golden Jubilee Bridges, Wikipedia)
