Angel of the North

Standing 20 metres high and costing 1million pounds, yes, I saw the Angel of the North. It's nothing more spectacular than a sculpture that everyone who's ever been to the entrance to Tyneside will point out to you saying 'there's the Angel of the North'. It's infinately better than many roadside buildings and as a piece of sculpture, it's a pretty amazing to be able to withstand the 100mph winds that batter its steel structure. It weighs 208tonnes and was created to take on the form of the artist Anthony Gormley's own body!! Yikes!!
