London Skyline Easter Egg
So you might have heard from the podcasts that there was an easter egg in the skyline, but this one was a doozy. If you *blinked* you wouldn't even see it.

Alright here it is:



From the Pink Floyd Animals cover, its the unused Battersea Power Station.

And here is a website about what it is:

just freestyling here, but 'sea' 'power' 'station' --> perhaps at the end of the big cable there is a power station in the sea?

good call on that.
I would have to be a Floyd fan or at least live in London to get that.

GO STEELERS!
As a Packers fan, the only other team in the NFL that I connect with is the Steelers.
so...
GO STEELERS!

Packers fan here too! And I spent a fun day drinking with my Steeler-fan cousins at Bubba's in Virginia Beach, a Steelers pub.
But, apparently somewhere along the way I became a Holmgren fan! I intended to resent him leaving Green Bay . . . but instead I've enjoyed watching him bring the Seahawks to the Super Bowl.
sigh.
Well, I'm just hoping for an exciting game.

Seahawks (sigh) I can never forgive Holmgren for what he did. He could have had a 10 year dynasty in Green Bay, and instead he goes to the Pacific northwest. When you have the greastest quarterback the game has seen in years, you don't leave him you build a team around him. (i.e. Cowboys in the late 80's and early 90's)

I hope the Steelers humiliate the Seahawks.

Oh wow, I totally missed that.

I'll never forget taking the train from Gatwick into downtown London and suddenly looking out the window and seeing the power station right there. I was traveling with a couple die-hard Floyd fans, so there was much squeeing and asking of "But where's the pig?!" :)

Well since Charlie is a rockstar they just put an easter egg homage to a rock band. It doesnt mean anything to the story. It's just an added bonus for fans. Sort of like how the girl that Charlie decieved (when he sold the copy machines in season one) had a dad who was going to "buy a paper factory in Slough", which is where The Office takes place (also, its a paper company). It's just there to point out.

There is a sign there, it says Widmore Construction and it is to be something important that we will learn more about in future episodes.

But they also said on the Podcast that there will be some 'signage' on the building that you will want to write down because it might pay off later. Know what that is? Can you blow that picture up at all to see signs on it?

yeah dude, there's totally a sign in the upper right that's not readable. perhaps somebody with HD can read it?

I think...the observation here is that it's on the 'Animals' cover and the Losties are turning into Animals. Killing each other and all, you know? Maybe that's it. Or maybe not.

hate to post again. But I do like the idea that it is a power source for the island, but does anyone else kind notice the GIANT SMOKE STACKS. Kinda makes me think of the others and their smoke signals.

How is this an easter egg at all? It's a real building in London. Just because it was on a Pink Floyd album cover doesn't mean it's a subtle joke to Pink Floyd fans. They just happened to film that scene near the building.

Because they don't film in London, they film in Hawaii, which means the building was added digitally after the fact. Plus, the podcast said to "keep an eye out on the London skyline for an easter egg", so its pretty much spelled out there.

Also, last week was the 29th anniversary of Animal's release. Why is everyone pointing out that its a real building when there are 2 links in the post that clearly show that it is?

Arg, i swear if one more person says this...

Of course its a real building. Notice the two links provided?

The creators added that building digitally *as an easter egg*. Listen to the ABC podcast for last week.

Considering it's the Battersea Power Station and it's also being re-furbed can we pin down an accurate date from this?

Also, in case the connection hasn't been made here yet. Widmore also made the pregnancy test...
