North East of England
Angel of the North1
Since spreading its wings in February 1998 Antony Gormley's The Angel of the North has become one of the most talked about pieces of public art ever produced.
Rising 20 meters from the earth near the A1 in Gateshead, the Angel dominates the skyline, dwarfing all those who come to see it. Made from 200 tonnes of steel, it has a wingspan of 54 meters.
I pass the Angel most days but have never put a photo on my site, after been asked on more than one occasion as the why not l thought it was time l did.
