About This is the giant, 'Gateshead Angel', erected on the outskirts of my home town, in Tyne & Wear, in 1998.
After 7 years, it's my first visit!

In the sub-zero wind chill, my hand almost froze to the camera.

The setting sun, in the freezing wind chill, gave wonderful, crisp lighting conditions. Magical light indeed!

That's why you've got to put your own individual stamp, or 'signature' style on it, Bob! Mine is - unusual perspectives, with magical light. It also involves being in the right place at the right time...etc.

Despite being on my doorstep, it's the first time I'd visited - just to photograph the thing!

Thanks for your unique and humourous comment, Bob. Always raise a smile, no matter how much pain I'm in. Much appreciated.

Regards
Colin

Thanks for the kind comment, Markus. I did not go for an overtly religious or biblical impression, but more of an overall spiritual and aesthetic feel.

The wind--chill was so bad that afternoon, my FMS symptoms flared badly, and I was crippled for a day after - but this image will last!

Dank für Ihre Ermutigung und durchdachte Wörter, mein Freund.

This is an amazing shot, Colin. It really provides a religious, biblical, archaic feeling. Great shot.

Wow, Colin, shooting straight into the sun! It all comes together beautifully and makes a tremendously powerful image. I don't expect the man was actually praying (not much point) but it certainly looks like it. A most remarkable achievement. You are really doing some amazing things recently, Colin.

Great image!
Different from the tipical strait on I seen of this sculpture, I like the nagle you used. also having the human figure at the bottom of it gives a sense of proportion of it.
