A Belgian landmark...

I never got around to visit some landmarks in Belgium, to practice my photography, but this weekend I was in Brussels for a day, so I took these of the Atomium. It's an Iron atom, enlarged 165 billion times and was erected in 1956, for the world Exposition. The buidling was ( and is) so popular, that it outlived it's original 6 months intended lifespan and still stands strong.









I still think this is one wicked construction...

That's awesome! Why doesn't my state have anything cool like that?  ;D

Been up that structure, seriously cool, the lift is a marvel in it's self, 200ft/second(there or there abouts). Really nice angles on those shots, highly reccomend you take a ride in it.

Politics... elections were half a year ago and still now new government. Some people want to blow up and devide Belgium into Flanders and Wallonie ( Dutch and French speaking part of Belgium)... Don't ask... it's pretty complicated and a BIG mess at the moment...

You wouldn't happen to know that girl would you?

Jokes aside, that structure looks very cool!!

An amazing piece of architecture. Didn't realise it was so old though.

The left one is my girlfriend, the right one is a friend... She's single and available, but she'd kill me if she knew I wrote this...  ;D

Nice, Ive been in there a long time ago! Did you use the EF-S 18-55mm?

[Omag 2.0]

Ehrm... My Lumix FZ5... ( shame shame shame)

I did attend a concert later on and the EF-S 18 -55 isn't suitable for those occasions...

So I took my bridge...  :)
