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

A man climbing a tall steel ladder on a barge right in front of the large floating platform in the Marina Bay area in Singapore. 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 is the Mandarin Oriental hotel.

A few days earlier, my brother, a resident of Tarrytown, came down to Manhattan to drive us to his home to see his new daughter. When we drove on the Queensboro Bridge to get to his home, I said to myself that "I want to take some photos of the bridge when I come back to Manhattan." So one morning I took the bus and subway from our hotel at West 94th Street and Broadway down to East 63rd Street and York Avenue to admire the bridge.

There are many river cruises in Singapore, and it is something very popular for tourists. Here is an empty river cruise boat on the water, just next to a bridge on the water. In the background, just beyond the bridge is an overhead lighting support, meant for the Formula One race that is held in the night, and in behind those are the high rise buildings along with cranes at a construction site. The sky has a large number of white clouds.
The river cruises in Singapore are very popular and there are a number of tourist operators providing this service. Every resort or hotel has a tie-up for the same, and this is the office of the same service provided by the Marina Bay Sands hotel in the Marina reservoir.
