Photo: Angel of the North

The giant "Angel of the North" sculpture stands on a hill overlooking 2 intersecting freeways in Gateshead England, just outside of Newcastle. It is constructed out of steel and was designed by Antony Gormley. It stands 66 feet tall with an incredible 178 foot wingspan! It is tough to convey its magnitude in a photograph and is definitely a sight to be seen. The onlookers below help give it a sense of scale and that tiny dot on its head is actually a bird!
