Here are some of the ones I captured around November 2008. They are pixelly because of the incredible magnification that has had to take place.
The magnification process has created countless digital artefacts, but those of you familiar with this kind of thing will doubtless concur that digital artefacts seldom create angels. It is clear that these are the real McCoy. Swirls of light created on a cold night with exposure beyond breaking point for handheld. That's when you might see them. Or are they merely nudes descending staircases?
I am trying to find an Eastern European animation with scary angels depicted. Julian has seen it, and knows it is referred to in a book somewhere. It was shown in the Fourmations sporadic series. I have a few videotapes of these to look through (and catalogue). Makes me wistful for the good ol pioneering days of Channel 4. It is such a shame that it has finally capitulated. With the support of the BBC, I might add - here no surprise there then.
A couple of things people have said about angels that I like:
We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another. ~Luciano de Crescenzo - little bit about him here
You'll meet more angels on a winding path than on a straight one. ~Daisey Verlaef
