Angel of the North

As the polling stations were getting ready to close in the British General Election, I was at the Angel of the North, grabbing a photograph. I was actually en route the Newcastle Airport to pick up my son and made a slight detour!

I love this work of art, but still recall the controversy when it was first proposed. One thing is for sure, it's certainly helped to put the region on the map.

I still recall photographing the main body as it was being fabricated at Hartlepool Steel Fabrications Ltd. It looked very much a Lilliputian scene as figures surrounded the supine sculpture.
