The Angel of the North, located in Gateshead, England, is a contemporary steel sculpture designed over fifteen years ago by artist Antony Gormley. The thing is as tall as four double decker buses and has a wingspan as big as that of a jumbo jet. It is also seen by 90,000 people in cars every day on the A1 (here is the angel’s view…don’t look like heaven to me). Every time a car horn beeps a freakin’ huge angel gets his wind-resistant wings.
