I thought that it was Chad.... but i couldn't see his hair... since you cropped both Angels the same
i guess that i should have watched the video first it was a great presentation....peter
Bill Phillips: Thanks Peter. Pleased you enjoyed the fun!
Haha! Andrew Chad's belly is just a bit lurking out of his shirt on this hot day (in Germany, too, 27 C!)- that is priceless! (I saw one of these angels by Andrew G. at the edge of the M5 direction Exeter)- later I'll look at your video (I'm on way to a Sisley exhibition in Wuppertal).
Bill Phillips: do you mean that willow man thing pointing? That is by Serena de le Hey
I hate to say it, but I think Chad is the most athletic of all.... at this age it is a wonder he climbed up... erm, don't tell him that I said so .
I love the collage and you showed a great set of pictures, well done.
It shows that you had a great day out again
Bill Phillips: It was quite windy and I was worried the daft old sod would fall off onto the rocks all around.
We had a good day Richard took us to some very interesting parts of Leicestershire
I totally agree with Astrid after having watched your wonderful video- ewas too curious)! Andrew Ch. is admirablely sportive, he is a real Dove-ton by nature!
Bill Phillips: I wouldn't have got up there without a step ladder!
Good to see you had a great day out round my way Bill, the next time I am at the top of Beacon Hill, only a few minutes from us, I will gaze on the trig point with awe and think "Chad has stood on this, it is hallowed concrete." Hope you enjoyed the GCR as well, they have their big gala coming up next weekend.
Bill Phillips: I thought the silly sod was going to get blown off by the rather stiff breeze, The GCR was great as we got to wander around the shed and I got to see Sir Lamiel (I have never seen a Lord Nelson class in the flesh!)
Looks like a fun day in the Far East; very sunny. Please tell Chad that we in the Mad House did not spend millions providing trip points so people could climb on them and practise diving headfirst into a damp sponge or similar.
willow man by Serena de le Hey? Then Chad had to wear his adam costume! No, I thought of The Angel of the North by Antony Gormley, which is located in Gateshead, England.
"It is a steel sculpture of an angel, standing 20 metres (66 ft) tall, with wings measuring 54 metres (177 ft) across. The wings themselves are not planar, but are angled 3.5ยบ forward, which Gormley used to create "a sense of embrace".
It stands on a hill on the southern edge of Low Fell, overlooking the A1 and A167 roads into Tyneside, and the East Coast Main Line rail route, south of the site of Team Colliery." (and along the M 5)
Bill Phillips: The angel of the north is alongside the A1 in the north east but the M5 runs down to the south west of England but I don't know of an angel by the M5, the only thing I can think of is the willow man. I have stood by and under the angel several times as I always used to stop if I could when going with my work up to the north east
You are right, and, sorry, I too am right, I saw the "Angel of South" at the M5 with my own eyes when we travelled from Bristol to Torquay. "Inspired by the Angel of the North, several similar projects have been proposed. The 'Angel of the South' title has been given by some to the Willow Man which sits to the side of the M5 in Somerset", look at the photo! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antony_Gormley)
The one on the right seems more life-like, Bill.
