Least = Atom Heart Mother (really??....a cow)

^ Yes, exactly. The picture of those military uniform shoulder pads on the cover of a war-themed album - very appropriate.

Maybe it's night sky with some sparks in the foreground. S#$%w it.  Whatever.

No "What-ev-er" - it's a man in a tree - Wikipedia says it's a man in a tree, most PF websites say it's a man in a tree and most importantly Storm Thorgerson says it's a man in a tree in his book 'Mind Over Matter - The Images of Pink Floyd' - in fact that's the exact bloody phrase he uses: 'The slide in question - a man in a tree - soon came up and the defocused lens caused the little chinks of sunlight between the leaves to expand and transmute into incandescent hovering spheres, reminiscent of the old bubble slides of early Pink Floyd concerts'. (page 46).

No need to appologise - it doesn't matter whether you can see it or not - it doesn't matter whether what you can see is a man or just random patterns in the image - that's kind of the beauty of imagery, you can see what you like in any image and make you own interpretation - however that does not change the fact that the original photograph is of a man in a tree. That's all I'm saying really.

Yep, it's a guy in a tree, I can see it myself now.
