Angel of the North

I asked the wife to drive, to enable me to get a shot of this as we drove back past Newcastle.
Unfortunately, she would not slow down.

lol, very difficult to get this one from the road - but it's so iconic

Well you did well as you sped past! Like the way there is a horizontal cloud over the Angel which emphasises the spread of its wings.

Thanks Shanne and yes, I planned the shot like that Patricia :)

Bahahahaha! This did make me giggle! Woman on a mission eh! Still, I think the photo is all the better for the story that goes with it!

We tried to take one up close a while back... had to walk back so far to fit it in I might as well have stayed in the car! This is a great whizzy view, well done sorting the clouds

Can I call you next time I need the clouds arranged just so? :) Next time open the car door just a little while the driver is going to fast. They slow down pretty quick then but just be ready with the camera too :)

Great shot anyway

@jackie8 It is our new car and she was determined to test out the top speed.
@filsie65 Ha ha ha, I try.
@k1w1 No problem and good advice, thank you.
@ericaw Thanks

[Rosie Kind]

Spouses just don't understand us photographers do they? Great capture in spite of the speed she was going!

[Vivien Beer]

great shot :)

[Cally]

Tsk, how inconsiderate! We always go up the M6, so we never see this.

@rosiekind & @cally You are not wrong, thanks for your comments.
@1977 Thank you

I think that's so funny, that she wouldn't slow down for you!! My husband would have even pulled over, he's awesome about my little quirks. :)
