Foot of An Angel
The foot of the Angel of the North: Newcastle, UK.
The awesome Angel of the North is the largest sculpture in Great Britain which measures 65 feet tall, with a wonderful wingspan of 175 feet. Antony Gormley’s Angel of the North is now, probably, the most famous publick work of modern art. There’s something magical and strange about the Angel, you have to be there to feel it though. 
How lovely on the mountains are the feet of those who bring Good News.

Carol Barona
oh my gosh i would love to see this. this alone is magical….wonderful
DonDavisUK replied
Hi Carol, I saw it again on the way down from Edinburgh on New Year’s Eve, but it was too dark and far away from the train window to catch a shot. It’s a great place to visit though. I was also looking at Newcastle and thinking what a great city with so many spectacular new buildings, I’d love to spend more time there taking in the sights and capturing some more images. Thanks for viewing and commenting. Have a great 2009. Don.
