Postcard from Brussels

Love it or hate it, the Atomium is the equivalent of the Eiffel Tower for the residents of the European Union's capital city. After years of exposure, the Brussels landmark was looking a bit shabby -- but it's back to its shiny glory after a €27.5 million renovation.

You can read of this monument; a cluster of nine silver balls linked by glistening tubes, towering more than 102 meters high (300 feet)in Der Spiegel.
