The Tyne God

I've always liked this bronze sculpture at Newcastle City Council - i'm no expert but it's sheer size, power and aspect appeals to me... So during a sunny lunchtime today I blipped it. I'm not sure i've done the River Tyne God justice, but i've tried to capture his facial features more than i've seen in other photos. Perhaps i'll blip him again (especially if any of you help me out and suggest an interesting angle or composition!).

For more details and pictures, take a look at http://twurl.cc/kv3 or http://twurl.cc/kv4

Actually, looking at my shots, i've just realised that there was something different about The Tyne God today - he was dry. Normally "water pours from his elevated hand drenching the body and symbolising his significance as the allegorical god of the Tyne."
