The cover of Yes's "Tales from Topographic Oceans" album, illustrated by Roger Dean, features a serene, otherworldly landscape under a starlit sky. Rock formations and a small waterfall frame a barren, sandy expanse leading to a distant, pyramid-like structure. The deep blue night sky, dotted with stars, enhances the mystical ambiance, perfectly matching the album's expansive, introspective themes in progressive rock.
