We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another
- Luciano de Crescenzo
If you find your angel with one wing
embrace him and together you can fly
The feeling is like coming home
Everything makes sense
and your life begins ...

The Paternoster Vents, sometimes known as the “Angel's Wings”, is an outdoor 2002 stainless steel sculpture on the west side of the Paternoster Square development in London.
As well as being impressive as a piece of sculptural art, it was designed as ventilation for an underground electrical substation. with four electricity transformers under Bishop’s Court on the west side of the development.
Thomas Heatherwick's design reduces the physical mass of the structure as originally conceived, with metal grilles integrated into the paving allow ingress of cool air, with warm air flowing out through the two tall vents which form wings that mirror each other.
Each wing comprises 63 isosceles triangles of stainless steel about 6 mm (0.24 in) thick that stands about 11 m (36 ft) high. The design was inspired by origami experiments from folding pieces of A4 paper.

CALADIUMS in a public garden in Stockholm
Caladiums are tropical perennials with colorful, heart-shaped leaves native to tropical forests in South and Central America.
This is an “old-fashioned” plant, having been in cultivation in Europe since the late 1700’s, used for its dramatic foliage. The leaves generally have prominently colored midribs, contrasting margins, and patterns including mottled, veined and striped, in various combinations and shades of green, white, pink, rose and/or red.
“Beware that you don't look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels are always in the presence of my heavenly Father."
-Matthew 18:10
I made these little angel wing decorations to give to friends and family this Christmas.
Just two more images to post for my 100 x challenge. I hope to catch up with everyone soon, I've been a very bad Flickr friend lately.

Despite being inherently photogenic I've tried without success to photograph the Thomas Heatherwick Paternoster Vents several times. I think this shot taken back in February is getting close to the result I think is possible.

From 'Learning to look at sculpture' by Mary Acton, "At the end of a narrow pedestrian alleyway off Paternoster Square near St. Paul’s Cathedral in London are a pair of stainless-steel “angel’s wings” 11 meters high. Designed by Thomas Heatherwick, the sculpture actually serves a practical purpose: It provides ventilation for an electrical substation below ground. Cool air is sucked in through grids on the ground, and hot air is conducted through the sculpture and released high overhead.
“The commissioner had been exploring options that involved creating a single structure that housed both inlet vents and outlet vents,” Heatherwick wrote. “It made a large bulky object that dominated the public square around it, reducing it to little more than a corridor. As this was a sensitive location near St. Paul’s, we decided to make it our priority to shrink the visible mass of the vent structure to a minimum.”"

The First Congregational Church of Detroit was established on December 25, 1844. Two church buildings were built near the Detroit River. The third building was constructed at the present site in 1891, and was designed by architect John Lyman Faxon. An addition to the church, known as the Angel's Wing, was constructed in 1921 by Albert Kahn.
Architecture
The church is designed in a blend of the Romanesque and Byzantine styles,[4] using rough-hewn, warm red limestone. The Woodward facade has a five-bay loggia, with a parapeted front gable

Despite being inherently photogenic I've tried without success to photograph the Thomas Heatherwick Paternoster Vents several times. Also know as the 'Angels Wings', at least this shot of them is pleasingly abstract.

"Sweet souls around us watch us still,
Press nearer to our side;
Into our thoughts, into our prayers,
With gentle helpings glide." - Harriet Beecher Stowe
Yes, sometimes, life is not so easy...for everybody, even angels.

I saw these impressive sculptures for the first time recently, and knew I had to pop back with a tripod and my 17mm tilt shift lens in order to have a crack at capturing them in a single-frame photograph.
A challenging location for a number of reasons. One of which is the limited space available in which to back up in order to fit the scene in. Also it was slightly frustrating that a few of the floodlights in the base don't work which means it's rather unevenly lit.
Plus, after a little while standing there I had a helpful security guard from one of the nearby buildings come up and say I wasn't allowed to take photographs there. I'm not sure for what reason, and also if it's a legally enforceable rule, but having already got a few decent shots I complied and stopped snapping after he'd walked past.
I might try and do some research to try and find out if hobbyist photography really is prohibited in that area, or whether he was being over-zealous.
I got this shot just as we were entering blue hour, and another one during the tail end of the daylight, both of which I will call a success, and justified schlepping in to work with my 6D and tripod in tow today.
Built in 2002, the alternate name for this is the Paternoster Vents, and they actually provide ventilation for an underground electrical substation built at that location ...
Peter made me the dream catcher from silver, after a visit to Peggy Guggenheim's gallery in Venice some years ago, where we saw something similar, only a lot larger!
