Northumberlandia

[Becky]

It's Ian's birthday tomorrow, so we went to visit his family in the North East of England last weekend. While we were there we went to see Northumberlandia, which as far as I know is the largest human landform sculpture! I took some photos with my phone while we were there - she is quite a pretty lady!

Here's a map:

This is the nearby quarry:

That is really neat. How many miles does the art take up? I would imagine maintaining that is a labor of love. Thanks for sharing.

Happy Birthday, Ian!

This place is amazing! It looks magical, I've never seen anything like it. I'm sure you had a wonderful trip. The weather was really nice, wasn't it? I love these little rays of sunshine in the last picture

She is 400 meters long, but the paths are about 4 miles in total. So if she stood up she'd be taller than the Empire State Building, let alone the Statue of Liberty!!

That is a really cool piece of art. It's amusing that people are standing on her breasts. I like her giant mosaic eyes. I wonder how long it took to create her.
