Looking for flying pigs

The contrast of the white roofs adds to the eerie, grim ugliness of the building.

The scenery seems to appeal the audience.

Very moody, great illumination, fascinating photo.

What kind of monster is this? Looks like a cousin of Tschernobyl.

I like it too!

It is Battersea Power Station in London - a Grade 1 Listed building - long disused but soon to be turned into...... guess what - yes! - shops hotel and "luxury" shoe boxes - err I mean .... apartments.:D

I'm a big fan of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, and this is one of his iconic buildings, almost as iconic as the ubiquitous red telephone box he also designed, but it has become better known around the world as the cover to Pink Floyd's album.

 

Now it doesn't look right without the pig - I think the new developers should fly one there permanently :)

Thanks for reminding me who designed it Michael. When I posted I just could not recall!

As you know, and for general info, he also designed Bankside power Station - now the Tate Modern Gallery (courtesy of Herzog, de Meuron)
