Eye Spy a Sculpture
Earlier this year when in Montreux I walked along the shores of Lake Geneva under the threatening snow filled clouds.
Apart for its fame for hosting many festivals, the most notable being the Jazz Festival, it also has the Freddie Mercury statue and other pieces of art, including this cool dude.

The Angel of the North
I jumped at the chance of visiting this bold and beautiful sculpture last month – it had been on my to do list for many years.
The Angel of the North is a 20 metre tall steel sculpture by Antony Gormley, that stands south of Gateshead in the north of England.
Beneath where it was constructed lie abandoned coal mines, once the life and blood of this area. The miners worked under the ground in the dark, the angel stands up in the light on a hilltop in celebration or remembrance. The wings are angled forward to give a sense of embrace. The angel is also firmly rooted in the ground – the antithesis of what we normally expect of an angel.
The angel is also supposed to symbolise the transition from an industrial to information age and serve as a focus for our evolving hopes and fears.
