Kenwood: north perimeter steps, 1968 & 2009.

These steps run right up the northern edge of the property, from the bottom of the garden on past where the swimming pool was originally situated. This photo of John and Yoko, taken as they approached that point in December 1968, has been seen on here before, but the recent pic, taken from the bottom of the steps below, hasn't. The images in circulation of the pair of them in and around a half empty Kenwood shortly before the final move have a tangible valedictory air to them...and there is a certain ghostly quality to the contemporary photo too, for that matter.
