    It’s fantastic isn’t it.
    There are arguments going on over something similar being done to welcome people in to Wales as they come over the dreaded Toll Bridge. They wanted something to symbolise modern Wales – I wrote in and suggested a giant kebab – didn’t get a reply for some reason

  • petelangman replied

    your funny! twice you have made me giggle with your comments today!

  • David Meacham replied

    Oh well – at least I’m making someone smile!

  • petelangman replied

    if we can all make someone smile, then we would all be happy! sorry hank, this is all going under your brilliant picture

    The wife smiles now and again – often when I’m undressing – but that’s another story. I have to go and photograph a pea now.

    Fantastic shot. lovely colour. I must admit when I first saw it I thought it looked like an aeroplane that had landed on its tail. Now that it is rusty it looks better., but your shot is GOOD

    This looks awesome – for some weird reason it makes me think of ‘The Wicker Man’ (that’s a compliment!) I love the tones, the sillouhettes, brilliant stuff!

    this is just brilliant – i love the people too – works really well how you have silhouetted them – when i go past i often think i won’t take a pic because there are so many people there – you have just proved me wrong and it actually makes it look more intesting – love the purple sky too.

    How stunning, and you’re right, great sense of size from the public viewers. I had no idea this existed, will go to look for it.
    You’ve made a wonderful photograph of this.

  • Mark Gardner replied

    Did you know this image is for sale on Ebay, credit given to a photgrapher named Denise Swanson? If you google Angel of the North, Australia, it pops up.

    I just looked at them side by side, and can see the major differences of the individual photographs. I went to look up this wonderful statue, found what I thought was a rip off of your work on Ebay, and wrote the previous comment. Whew. Glad it wasnt’ lifted from you.
