Angel of the North with little child

Angel of the North with little child
The Gateshead Angel of the North is Britain's largest sculpture, designed by Antony Gormley for Gateshead Council. It weighs 200 tons, is 20m high and has a 54m wing span, which the equivalent of 4 stacked double decker buses, and it's wingspan matches that of a jumbo jet. The rich red/brown colour comes from the weathering steel which can withstand winds of more than 100 miles per hour. It one of the most popular pieces of public art in England.

Very nicely captured Amelia, I haven't seen it, the Bomber Command memorial at Lincoln is made of the same type of steel also the name panels, just under 58,000 names

It was controversial at the time Amelia, but I think it's great!
Your series shows it beautifully and you were lucky to have such a good sky.
