The Angel's well situated - on a hillside, above Newcastle and Gateshead. It's lost in mist at the moment. Opinions are fiercely and equally divided over it as a monument. My actual reaction to it was to build something on the same scale.
Photography is an acceptable form of hunting - surely. More actual cruelty is found in factory farming systems - I'd suggest. There's certainly a massive disjunction between country and town.
But what about Bronze Age monuments that 'are in denial' ? It's as though the local historical paradigm has to reform somehow. How does that happen ? They must be real or 4Ws would have told me to pull them. Why can't the archaeologists - 11 miles away - see them ?
