Una fotografía urbana de ángulo bajo que captura un tren "L" de Chicago transitando por sus icónicas vías elevadas de acero. Los vagones de acero inoxidable cortan el encuadre horizontalmente, silueteados contra un fondo de modernos rascacielos de vidrio y acero y arquitectura clásica de grandes alturas. Los tonos de alto contraste enfatizan las marcadas líneas geométricas, la estructura de acero y la dramática escala del centro de Chicago.
A low-angle urban photograph capturing a Chicago "L" train traversing its iconic steel elevated tracks. The stainless steel train cars cut horizontally across the frame, silhouetted against a backdrop of modern glass-and-steel skyscrapers and classic high-rise architecture. High contrast tones emphasize the strong geometric lines, structural steelwork, and dramatic scale of downtown Chicago.
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

Get close enough to any of Chicago's river bridges and the postcard version falls away fast. This is what a hundred years of lake-effect winters actually does to structural steel — flaking paint, streaked rust, rivets standing proud where the metal around them has worn thin. The Ohio Street placard survives intact, black and gold against all that decay, the one clean element in a frame otherwise given over to texture.
Shooting up and across from water level turns the bridge into pure diagonal geometry: cross-bracing repeating in a rhythm of X-shapes, the underside receding into shadow while the top chord catches what flat daylight there is. There's no sky worth mentioning here, no skyline for context — just structure, close enough that the bridge stops being a bridge and starts being an abstraction of triangles and rust.
It's a deliberate choice to leave out anything that would ground this in a wider view. The interest is entirely in the surface: what industrial steel looks like after a century of doing its job outdoors, unpainted promises quietly broken by weather, and how much visual noise a riveted truss can generate up close.

Structural steel for the Integrated Sciences Complex arrived on Wednesday, December 21, and the steelworkers have been busy erecting two stories of columns and beams on the north wing. The university community will see the ISC take shape as steel continues to go up and metal decks, concrete slabs and fireproofing are installed through the spring.
