82. The cover for Pink Floyd's Animals LP, by Storm Thorgerson & Hipgnosis.
And if you're walking from Albert Bridge, then I'd suggest crossing it, after taking note of the sign warning that all troops must break step before marching over this bridge, then down the steps just over on the right, but then walking back under the bridge and into Battersea Park, walking on, passing the London Peace Pagoda soon enough, which Bob Geldof mentions in No Small Wonder, and continuing on to the exit onto Queenstown Road, but we're crossing back over the Thames again, this time it's Chelsea Bridge, turning right at the end, to walk alongside the Thames, and there, over the other side of the river and impossible to miss being so huge and in all it's magnificent glory, the Battersea Power Station. I was a little disappointed by the lack of a flying pig, and that the sky totally lacked the dramatic intensity of the album cover, but no matter. I had to keep in mind that the sky was apparently equally bland when the shots were taken of the flying pig. The dramatic sky was photographed some time later. The two images were then combined, somehow. Pre-Photoshop. |
