EDITORS COMMENTS
The Angel of the North, a modern sculpture masterpiece by renowned British artist Anthony Gormley, stands proudly in the twilight of Gateshead, Tyne and Wear. This iconic sculpture, created in 1998, is a symbol of the region's industrial heritage and a beacon of hope and resilience. As the sun sets, the Angel of the North transforms into a dark silhouette against the evening sky, its massive wings outstretched as if to embrace the approaching night. But as the darkness deepens, the sculpture comes alive once more, bathed in the soft glow of floodlights that illuminate its intricate surface. The Angel of the North is a breathtaking sight to behold, especially during the hours of twilight. Its imposing presence, combined with the ethereal quality of the floodlit effect, creates a sense of awe and wonder that leaves visitors in awe. The sculpture's intricate details, from the textured surface of its wings to the subtle curves of its body, are brought to life in this stunning photograph by James O. Davies. This image captures the essence of the Angel of the North, a modern sculpture that has become an integral part of the cultural landscape of the North East. It is a testament to the power of art to inspire and captivate, and a reminder of the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places.
