It was FORTY years ago today, Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style. But they're guaranteed to raise a smile. So let me introduce to you, the act you've known for all these years, Sgt. Pepper's lonely hearts club band.............. On this day, June 1st forty years ago the Sergeant Pepper album was released, the same day forty years later, you released this album, coincidence? Someone took the time to lay out the flowers and the leaves, the apple to dot the i, and the candle. I wonder if Yoko is responsible. So the mosaic, located in Strawberry Fields park, represents John's solo song "Imagine". Excellent photograph Anitha! I like it so much, I think I will download it, Thank you!

Perhaps we need a new Hippy and Jesus movement again, so much good came out of that, but the most important thing, IMHO was the drive towards peace and respect for all people. Great photo and congratulations on being featured.

Yes, I "imagine" the results of John Lennon's song every day! If only each of us would do so, what might happen to our world? Congrats on your POTD, Anitha, and for reminding us of the importance of imagination for our lives. I know I wax philosophical at 4 am my time but isn't that what this song and this memorial was/is about? Namaste. Sandy in NM

Congratulations on your FEATURED home page POTD. You know your old when you mention to 'kids' that the Beatles had the 'mod' look. It seems Beatles history for many younger (55 and below) starts with 'Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band'. John

The Beatles were my heroes when I was a young girl growing up in the 60's. I love their music just as much today as I did all those years ago. Quite recently I attended a Paul McCartney concert and it was as if time had stool still. I was instantly transported back to my youth as I listed to him singing the old Beatles hits. It could quite easily have been the Beatles themselves on stage. I was in heaven!! The Beatles must surely go down in history as GREAT British icons. They were the greatest musicians and songwriters of the 60's. In my opinion no one has ever equaled them for their talent and charisma, or even come close. I cannot praise them enough. I am so happy to see this photo featured today. Congratulations to you on having it chosen as POTD and thank you Webshots for this tribute to the Beatles and for bringing this significant date to you attention. Great, great shot. Jayne/England

Another wonderful addition to my collection of images of the 'Imagine' mosaic. I have 937 of them so far, and that's not including the 73 that I personally took. All are unique with different lighting, times of day, weather, and of course - flowers. Your image is well done, and I like the apple there too. Thanks for sharing!
