Angel of the North

A couple of locals tried to put us off seeing this marvelous sculpture.
We are so glad we went ahead to see it. It has enormous presence and is very worthwhile seeing from afar but especially, close up.

I can't believe we were so close and didn't see this impressive sculpture - you have really caught the dramatic spirit of it

I passed this on Wednesday. Didn't have nearly as good a sky though, just kept going...

I must have missed this one,Sheila.This is a gorgeous shot taken on the ideal day to show the rust against that blue sky! The people give a sense of scale.I know this "Angel" is only made of steel, but it has a very emotional feel to it as it seems to protect the whole area in its wings! V
