Removing one of the steel angels on George Square.

Removing one of the huge steel angels from its pole on George Square in Glasgow for possibly the last time as the Square is about to be revamped. Each one of the eleven steel angels was custom built for Glasgow by a skilled blacksmith, and were originally painted with fluorescent colours and illuminated by two 400W ultraviolet floodlights per angel. This was subsequently changed to just a single 150W blue metal halide floodlight which made the UV paints glow well, but brighter and with a fraction of the power. Latterly the angels were changed to plain white, but the blue floodlights kept.
The angels are very heavy (a heavy four man lift) and quite "pointy" too, which makes them quite awkward to handle.
They're one of my favourite effects on the Square at Christmas. On the top of the poles they are about 60 feet in the air and glow mystically against the night sky.
