The Angel of the North is a contemporary sculpture, designed by Antony Gormley, located in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, England.
Completed in 1998, it is a steel sculpture of an angel, 20 metres (66 ft) tall, with wings measuring 54 metres (177 ft) across. The wings do not stand straight sideways, but are angled 3.5 degrees forward; Gormley did this to create "a sense of embrace". The angel like much of Gormley's other work is based on a cast of his body.
It stands on the hill of Birtley, at Low Eighton in Lamesley, overlooking the A1 and A167 roads into Tyneside, and the East Coast Main Line rail route, south of the site of Team Colliery.
Work began on the project in 1994, and cost £800,000. Most of the project funding was provided by the National Lottery. The Angel was installed on 15 February 1998.
Due to its exposed location, the sculpture was built to withstand winds of over 100 mph (160 km/h). Thus, foundations containing 600 tonnes (590 long tons; 660 short tons) of concrete anchor the sculpture to rock 70 feet (21 m) below. The sculpture was built at Hartlepool Steel Fabrications Ltd using COR-TEN weather-resistant steel. It was made in three parts—with the body weighing 100 tonnes (98 long tons; 110 short tons) and two wings weighing 50 tonnes (49 long tons; 55 short tons) each—then brought to its site by road. The components were transported in convoy—the body on a 48-wheel trailer—from their construction site in Hartlepool, up the A19 road to the installation site 28 miles (45 km) away; the nighttime journey took five hours and attracted large crowds.
The Angel aroused some controversy in British newspapers, at first, including a "Gateshead stop the statue" campaign, while local councillor Martin Callanan was especially strong in his opposition. However, it has since been considered to be a landmark for North East England and has been listed by one organisation as an "Icon of England". It has often been used in film and television to represent Tyneside, as are other local landmarks such as the Tyne Bridge and the Gateshead Millennium Bridge.
The sculpture is also humorously known by some local people as the "Gateshead Flasher", because of its location and appearance

Not sure about what is being constructed, but since there are a number of events that take place on the floating platform and the Formula One race was about to happen in a month, it could be because of that. In the background are the windows of a large high rise building.

A view of the large floating platform in the Marina Bay area in Singapore with some tall buildings in the background and some metal structures in the front. This Float@Marina Bay is the world's largest floating platform, and is also known as the Marina Bay Floating Platform, being located on the Marina reservoir in Marina Bay in Singapore. The platform is larger than a soccer field, and is made of steel. The seating at the gallery on the float has a seating capacity of 30,000 people and can bear a total weight of 1070 tonnes. The platform measures a length of 120 meters and a width of 83 meters. The stadium was created in the year 2007 and has been used for a number of different events such as concerts, exhibitions, arts and cultural performances, and sports events. The stadium was used for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics. One reason for the location of this platform was because of the incredible skyline of Singapore seen from here. The platform was initially designed to use 200 pontoons, but the design was modified to finally use 15 pontoons.

For a former industrial part of San Francisco, this south of Market St - SOMA - area is bustling with people. I had just come from taking photos at an outdoor food court and was about to visit an electronics store when I saw this group of people as they walked under the overhead freeway, crossed an intersection and were heading south on Harrison Street. This photo I made of the group walking in the sunlight was much easier than the previous photo opportunity in the shade under the steel and cement roadway. I shot this using my Canon Powershot SX50.
