A surreal, black and white landscape taken at the Animals photo shoot that was put together by design group Hipgnosis on behalf of Pink Floyd for the launch of their new album. It features the iconic, inflatable pig in between the southern chimneys at London's Battersea Power Station.
“I shot a whole roll of film of London’s famed Battersea Power Station when the Pink Floyd flew a blow-up pig above it for their Animals cover in 1976. To everyone’s horror, the inflated pig slipped free from its moorings while aloft. The band had originally hired an ex-police marksman to shoot it down if this happened, but he never showed up." -- Carinthia West
