The Atomium is a monument built for Expo '58, the 1958 Brussels World's Fair.
Designed by André Waterkeyn, it is 102-metre (335-feet) tall, with nine steel spheres connected so that the whole forms the shape of a unit cell of an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times.
Renovation on the Atomium began in March 2004; it was closed to the public in October, and remained closed until 18 February 2006. The renovations included replacing the faded aluminium sheets on the spheres with stainless steel.
The Atomium is one of the most visited attractions in Brussels today. In 2008, the Atomium will celebrate its 50th Birthday, with activities planned all year, including free admission for those turning 50 between April and October.

Happy July 21 to all friends Belgians! :)
A magnificent photo! I took a school party there more than 30 years ago on a cold damp Easter, and came back with the most ghastly photos! Yours is wonderful, blue sky, shininess and reflections, Bravo!
Very interesting architecture!
A beautiful shot, dear Michel, very striking. Have a happy holiday. Hugs. DiDi. xx

It was a amazing at the time it was first built, and still is. And so is your capture.
