Photograph for Twang46

[BarryH]

Here's a photograph to make Twang46 (Dick) feel more at home.

The Angel of the North, has been moved to Derbyshire where it feels a bit warmer. It's actually a life sized replica that is part of the Sotherby's "Beyond Limits" sculpture exhibition in the grounds of Chatsworth House in Derbyshire.

Cheers

It's a bloody eyesore.

Take the Bugger back to Gateshead and let it rust in peace !!

[BarryH]

Don't worry Dave, there's only a few days left before this and all the other sculptures go down to Sotherby's where some very wealthy punter will wave his hand in the air and buy it.

Cheers

When the *****!!!*s at Gateshead council commisioned this from Gormless, he told them after 5 years or so it would "mature" into a splendid "gunmetal" finish that would gracefully age as time passed.
It still looks the same as the day it was stuck in the ground
My vote was for a Brown Ale bottle, but alas no one listened, sadly it has just been anounced that from next year Scottish & Newcastle brewery is no more & will be renamed after a bottle of (addmitedly very nice) lager

Cheers

It's like the "iron man" that stood by the town hall in Birmingham, it made all the pavement
go rusty, the council sold it to another council in the end!

I calculate that this will take about 2,500 bottles of Loctite Rust Remedy to sort out. God knows how many tins of undercoats will be needed

I'm amazed no one has noticed the ghosts in the water. If you can, enlarge the section to the left of the Angels feet.

It was pointed out to me an a photographic forum.
