The angel reaches for the sun - a photo on Flickriver

            This is my photograph of the angel of the north in Gateshead. I used the wing of the angel to block the sun and cast a halo around the ring of the angel.

The iron sculpture of the angel was designed by Sir Antony Gormley and completed in 1998. Its stands near the A1 motorway at Gateshead. The angel is 20 metres tall and 54 metres across.
