Pig Rock in Speculator, New York
Driving through the Adirondacks, one expects to see breathtaking views of mountains, lakes, and forests. What might not be expected is the giant Angry-Birds-esque face of a pig. A few miles north of Speculator, New York is the large visage of a painted porker on an outcropping of rock. Legend says this dates back to the 1960s when it was painted by the daughters of a local man. Decades later, citizens protested and saved this landmark when the Department of Transportation wanted to remove it to widen the road. All in all, this is some pig.
