On a recent trip to the Northeast we managed to take in the Angel of the North, Anthony Gormley's huge steel sculpture located in Gateshead, England. It is, unsurprisingly, much more impresssive 'in the flesh' than looking at pictures of it; however it is at its most awe-inspiring at that moment when you get to the top of the hill on the A1 and first catch sight of it. It must be an especially welcoming sight to exiles returning to the Geordie nation.
