Atomium in Brussels - a photo on Flickriver

            The Atomium in Brussels was originally built for Expo '58, the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. Designed by André Waterkeyn, it stands 102-metres (335 ft) tall. It has nine spheres (18 m in diameter) connected so that the whole forms the shape of a unit cell of an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times.
