The Atomium, Brussels, Belgium - a photo on Flickriver

            Built for Expo 58 for the Brussels Worlds Fair - A Massive Structure.
Tubes of 10 feet diameter connect the spheres along the 12 edges of the cube and all 8 vertices to the centre. They enclose stairs, escalators and a lift to allow access to the five habitable spheres which contain exhibit halls and other public spaces. The top sphere includes a restaurant which has a panoramic view over Brussels.
CNN named it as Europes most bizarre building  !!!
WOW. !!!!L
