"the lady of the North" - a photo on Flickriver

"Northumberlandia (the "Lady of the North") is a huge land sculpture in the shape of a reclining female figure, which was completed in 2012, near Cramlington, Northumberland, northern England.

Made of 1.5 million tonnes of earth, it is 34 metres (112 feet) high and 400 metres (1,300 feet) long, set in a 19 hectares (47 acres) public park. Its creators claim that it is the largest land sculpture in female form in the world.

It is intended to be a major tourist attraction with the developers hoping that it will attract an additional 200,000 visitors a year to Northumberland. It was officially opened by Princess Anne on 29 August 2012. A day-long Community Opening Event on 20 October 2012 marked the park becoming fully open to the public.

It has been nicknamed "Slag Alice" by some."
