Angel of the North, England 
⠀ ⠀ Trip to the Angel of the North.⠀ Since spreading its wings in February 1998, Antony Gormley's Angel of the North in Gateshead has become one of the most talked about pieces of public art ever produced.⠀ Rising 20 metres from the earth near the A1 in Gateshead, the Angel dominates the skyline, dwarfing all those who come to see it and has become a symbol of home for many Geordies. Made from 200 tonnes of steel, it has a wingspan of 54 metres and a red-brown colour that comes from the weathering steel which can withstand winds of more than 100 miles per hour.⠀ What a stunning shot this is of this amazing place.⠀ ⠀ Follow @excellent_universe and tag #excellent_universe⠀ ⠀ Please consider following and tagging our other excellent hubs:⠀ @excellent_britain #excellent_britain⠀ @excellent_bestmacro #excellent_bestmacro⠀ ⠀ Feature selected by Caroline @caroricephotos⠀ ⠀ Please check out our friends:⠀ @yourbritain⠀ @gloriousbritain⠀ @gloriouseurope⠀ @genuinebritain⠀ @hike_britain⠀ @discovering_the_lakes⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #gloriousbritain #excellent_britain #genuinebritain #gloriouseurope #discovering_the_lakes #hike_britain ⠀ #ukpotd #visitbritain #trip #photosofbritain #explore #love #beautiful #instagood #landscapephotography #wanderlust #picoftheday #naturephotography #scenery #countryside #travelling #instatravel #igersuk #england #angelofthenorth⠀ ⠀ #eu_dlawtonphotography⠀Before it was commissioned this project raised many concerns and comments, including a worry that its massive size and metallic material might interfere with TV reception.
As part of the development, the artist prepared a few models for the sculpture, the body of which is based on a cast of the artist’s own body. One of these models was even featured in the BBC show Antiques Roadshow in 2008 and was appraised to be valued £1 million.

You can’t talk about tea without mentioning China, the land where tea originated. If you’re interested in the history of tea and want to visit where it is grown, plan a visit to the Sichuan region and travel to the Yangzi Jiang river.
If you prefer sticking to cities, make sure to pop into the tea houses hidden away in temples to witness traditional ceremonies of brewing and pouring. Prepare your nose for some intense and sweet natural aromas of the locally made infusions.

Britain in general is known for its affection to tea drinking, especially tea with a drop of milk. The most popular tea in Britain is Yorkshire Tea. With an intense taste designed to suit the water in the area, and with its simple and domestic feel, this black tea breakfast blend became a symbol and regional pride.
