Atomic Structure Photo

Photographer’s Note

The "Atomium" - a lasting symbol of the 1958 Brussels World's Fair is Belgium's answer to the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty.

The Atomium an impressive structure when viewed from near, stands 332 feet (102 meters) high and consists of nine spheres of 59 feet (18 m) diameter connected by tubes measuring 94 feet (29 m) in length and 10 feet (3 m) thick. Escalators connect the spheres, most of which contain science exhibits. An elevator (said to be Europe's fastest) leads to an observation gallery and restaurant in the topmost atom.

Hello Ananth,
The point of view gives a fine symmetrical composition with this famous structure!
Good textures and attractive colours in spite of quite low light, nice sharp details!
Greetings,

Hi Ananth!! I like this way of describing this famous monument! I didn't see it, and this way I understand how much tall it is.
Well done, thank you for sharing!
