Its not often i get this far north up the country but everytime i pass this iconic structure its either raining, windy or just too damn cold. This beautiful morning i was greeted by her with open arms....This is the Angel Of The North, England

Facts :
The sculpture itself was created offsite, using Corten weather resistant steel, at Hartlepool Steel Fabrications Ltd in three parts – with the body weighing 100 tonnes and two wings weighing 50 tonnes each
Due to its exposed location, the sculpture has to withstand winds of over 100 mph . Thus, 600 metric tonnes of concrete were used to create foundations
As the name suggests, it is a steel sculpture of an angel, standing 66 feet (20 m) tall, with wings measuring 178 feet (54 m) across — making it wider than the Statue of Liberty's height. The wings themselves are not planar, but are angled 3.5 degrees forward, which has said aims to create a sense of embrace.
