Angel of North

| [Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe |
| Angel of the North- The sculpture itself was created offsite, using Corten weather resistant steel, at Hartlepool Steel Fabrications Ltd in three parts – with the body weighing 100 metric tonnes (110 tons), and two wings weighing 50 metric tonnes (55 tons) each – then brought to its site by road. It took seven hours for the body to be transported from its construction site in Hartlepool, up the A19 to the site. |

Hello Fara,
Is it Icarus ? Maybe the wings are too heavy, but a good contrasting photo with a mysterious sky.
Regards,
Paul

Hello Fara,
I like the panoramic wide angle on the angel. Great colours too, lovely contrast with the blackness of the angel itself. This is a dynamic shot.

Hello,
Very interesting note and nice picture. It looks very impressive. There is something threatening in this photo. I like these dramatic clouds at the sky. You have captured a very specific atmosphere here. I like your photo very much.
We have in Poland very similar idea of the sculpture - it is called Hasior iron organs. It is located near Czorsztyn on an exposed hill (quite similar to Yours :) ) where, at times, the winds are quite strong. Given the venue, Hasior (the author of the sculpture) decided to take advantage of the winds incorporating them in the design of the monument by including its structure a number of flutes on which the howling wind would generate music: hence the monument's colloquial name: The Iron Organs. The idea to use wind in this manner was a truly ingenious idea but unfortunately monument has been allowed to deteriorate or even worse :(. Rust covering the whole structure caused the monument has fallen silent. Since the monument is near to main road it was truly amazing and threatening to hear the organs in the late evening hours while taking a break in the journey.
Greetings and thanks for sharing this beautiful image.
