The hand of God
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Located on Newcastle's Civic Centre, mounted on the Otta slate flank wall forming the link to the Council Chamber, is the majestic bronze sculpture of the River-God Tyne by David Wynne (1968). The sculpture is 16 feet high and weighs two and a quarter tons. Water pours from his elevated hand drenching the body and symbolising his significance as the allegorical god of the Tyne.
An amazing sculpture, all different colours and tones in the sunlight - especially when the verdigris gets caught in the sun - but also a very wet place to photograph.
A full size shot is in the workshop. |

Really cool picture. I would suggest maybe cropping some off the top of the photo to keep the attention on the fingers.
Hi Alex!
I thought that the sculpure was of Maradona! sorry, a bad joke, I know....
the details are really good, it seems like the water is coming out from the picture!
Nice details, well seen.
