And so the finale from our trip to Northumberland, and a stop at the Angel of the North.
This is one of those amazing sculptures we've both studied in Art History lessons, and have seen loads in passing on the trains and by car, but this was the first chance to stop off at the statue.
Was impressed that it was, well, just a statue. No souvineer shops, no cafes, none of that nonsense, just the statue.
It was surprisingly awe-inspiring being stood there at the base of the statue- and good weather for a shoot.
Tried a few experiments with monochrome and playing with the contrast too, just to make the Angel a little more sinister.
And so that was a nice end to our trip to Northumberland- a new location, lots of places to shoot pictures, all very enjoyable (and a nice holiday too!)
Not quite the end of pics from this area though- as we paid a return trip to Newcastle the following weekend... more pics to follow.
