Steeped in atmosphere, this black and white landscape is from the historic Pink Floyd Animals cover shoot taken at London's Battersea Power Station in early December 1976. On the second day of shooting the pink inflatable pig broke free of its moorings and rose into the flight path of Heathrow Airport.
“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
