The power station has long been an iconic landmark on the south bank of the Thames, distinctive for its four prominent smokestacks (two for each of its two separate generating facilities) and industrial art deco architecture. Perhaps most famously, it featured in the cover art for Pink Floyd's 1977 “Animals” album, with one of London's (sadly now extinct) giant flying pigs captured hovering near the smokestacks.
@[email protected] If you didn't care what happened to me
And I didn't care for you
We would zigzag our way through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
Wondering which of the buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing
@[email protected] Great shot and great album! (There's a joke about asking for more hashtags, but I'll leave that for someone else.😁)
@[email protected] Thanks (but to clarify, I didn't record the album, that was some other folks).
@[email protected] it's very cool that you can have coffee or drinks in the control room area, with lots of the original equipment
@[email protected] Oh neat. I've missed that.
