GB - TYNE AND WEAR: Angel of the North near Gateshead
The Angel's silhouette at the head of the Team Valley now rivals that of the famous Tyne Bridge. A panoramic hilltop site was chosen where the sculpture would be clearly seen by more than 90,000 drivers a day on the A1 - more than one person every second - and by passengers on the East Coast main line. The site, a former colliery pithead baths synonymous with Gateshead mining history, was re-claimed as a green landscape during the early 1990s. Moon digitally inserted.
