Back in August we took a trip OOOOp North to see our friend in Northumberland - and took a little detour off the A1 to see the Angel close up. I was a little disappointed to be honest, as it was smaller than I expected - but it does make for some good photo- ops. I am still amazed at how good the iphone is at taking pictures - all it needs is a flash and a zoom and I'd be able to use it all the time.
