landmark here is number ten in our ranking. the attorney i'm in brussels represents an elementary ion crystal enlarged one hundred sixty five billion times this unusual structure has been a belgian capital's most distinctive landmark for sixty years built as a symbol of the peaceful use of nuclear power the attorney and continues to attract visitors in droves. alexandra laurel has been taking pictures of this imposing structure for more than a decade from the ground and the air his passion for the attorney and knows no bounds to give us an opportunity it's a monument but it's usually fascinating in photographs it's like a mirror which reflects the sky and the ground the color change according to the season one time it's red when the blue the next time green. but the clouds also

play a role visitors take away a different impression of their structure every time for the work that the throwback you know sure. inside they can travel through twenty three metre long choose from one sphere to the next rising ever high out. here people get to see another side of the attorney and. the exterior of the two modern probably outside it looks very modern and shiny and largely. on the inside it's quite rough the spears and tubes are crude and give me a tell me i'm an industrial feel and justi with this building belgium wanted to show what it could do at the time. these pictures show the attorney i'm under construction in the late one nine hundred fifty s. built for the nine hundred fifty eight brussels world's fair it was to be a futuristic prestige project one hundred two meters tall the structure featured

nine. aluminum clad sphere is the attorney and was supposed to be torn down after expo fifty eight ended but it proved such a huge that it was left standing and even had the outer shell redone in stainless steel six decades later the building has become a national symbol an exhibition recalls the early days. what it meant to the people it was like coming here and having the wow feeling this is what belgium can show this is what we want to show to the world what a small belgian country can do it was the first exposition also after world war two so it was really the whole world coming here and all the countries showing off what they could their technology their knowledge. to this day the famous landmark has lost none of its fascination six hundred thousand people flock to the

a time every year making it one of belgium's biggest tourist attractions that most take a picture as a reminder of their visit. europe max i asked our viewers around the world to send in their best shots from their trip to brussels with the attorney and. the size of everything's a troops and everything it's really very nice to see so to a. church great that it still profits from tourism today because it is the local super surreal i'm glad to have seen a reason. to so i left without a doubt my life the architecture best from inside and out. the why you get flamed for the building it was certainly a big achievement and it offers a great view of brussels. to care for their.

even for alexandra laurel a visit to the attorney and wouldn't be complete without a look out over the city the ride in the elevator is a highlight in itself the world's fastest at the time it was built the elevator whisks visitors to one hundred two meters above ground in twenty three seconds at the top it's what many consider the nicest panoramic view of the city. for me it's a magical place with a view over the broncos and the surrounding area is fantastic you can discover interesting details about the city. it's a bit like looking out the window of an airplane of you. i always like to come back out here look at and. the attorney and the belgian capital's most famous landmarks is an impressive sight no matter how you look at it

for me it's pure self-expression. it's pure self-expression but. came a business. i don't dress up for people i dress up for myself. but yeah. diana rico sorry she's flamboyant obsessed with fashion and naturally artistic. in asia she's already a star in europe still up and coming even after her success in social media like instagram now thirty two years old she's been living with her family in los suns switzerland since early twenty seventeen her husband works here for his wife during lunch breaks in the times that i want to be in the middle to smile and style and

she's hoping it will work in europe too especially in her new home switzerland. because you know like it's a beautiful country like you know if it's going to be more beautiful if you know where more color. the smiths attachment to their reserved black great and blue but something of a culture shock for the indonesian blogger is a really really really really different. she sees the world as her playground every photo is an eye catcher she deliberately chooses her brightly colorful outfits to stand out from her surroundings. diana rekha saris mantra thinking colors helps get her through the cold swiss winter the fashion blogger has been sharing her thoughts and ideas with the broader public for eleven years now. in indonesia she's seen as a fashion blog pioneer. she studied business and quickly realised that uses respond

more immediately to photos than text instagram was launched right on time. for that it just became like. like brands started to contact me p.r. agencies started to offer me collaboration and then like after a while like some round off i'm going to become a brand ambassador and just kept going until today she's advertised in various beauty products fashion lines and companies and was soon winning awards and appearing on t.v. as a top consultant. because. the job proved to be quite lucrative. can i have my calculator. diana rico sorry converts indonesian rupees to swiss francs. in the average sometimes per month you get around seven thousand francs from

working with brands but then if you can collaborate with the bigger brands for like twelve months contract it becomes more. seven thousand francs or about five thousand eight hundred euros she takes in even more revenue from her own labels she can market in shoes and promoting them on instagram since twenty that. in twenty sixteen my emo clothing line hit the market. polluters business idea features items for children a mother of two herself off to her maternity leave i'm relocating she's working full tilt once again she knows what makes up a blog successful. no style is more also like you know a character a personality you know someone that basically like you want to be you want to be like a brand on your own like you know you yourself is a walking brand that is

a good influence or you know. she comes across as a mixture of diva girl ego fictional character artist and businesswoman. photos may often look just like snapshots but many of them speak a language all their own. i see more things because now i appreciate every corner every wall every floor because like everything is a photography object like oh that's a nice composition that's a nice color combination so i paid more attention to this neat tells because i know that they week they can become our playroom of an indonesian fashion blogger who has set out to bring to europe how very rich. no colorful flashy vision back. after

in cornwall it seems like in chanted castles rise up from the sea maybe none as famous as france's most damage shen but for that reason not nearly as busy. here every fork in the road offers an opportunity to encounter witnesses to long ago history burial mounds stone circles and standing stones. the roots in cornwall are narrow and winding so it's important to drive carefully and always be courteous to your fellow driver for everyone's safety. wherever you see a black and white flag flying alongside the red white and blue union jack that's cornwall. britain's best surfers meet on cornwallis beaches.

beginners can ease themselves in when there's just a light swell. nuki in the north is considered the best place for surfing at low tide the beaches there are perfect for families ideal for both children and shell seekers but you need to be tough to take a dip with water temperatures around sixteen degrees celsius. as a tourist you can stay on a remote farm if you like with a peaceful herd of cows as your nearest neighbor. or you can stay right on the beach it all depends on your budget and taste. in cornwall is excellent for sailing and voting with picturesque coves and its waters there are famous for delicious fish and seafood as. dan bartlett hauls his lobster trap on board his fishing boat but there are no lobsters in it today just crabs. the male

for its spectacular gardens it's said that each garden is a bit of heaven on earth. triva garden is a sub tropical paradise on the helford river it's full of exotic plants and it's been cared for and maintained for nearly two hundred years. is in a gentle valley that leads down to the helford river. it's a sloping landscape well protected from harsh winds. there are some fantastic clouds as you say that we are growing in the mediterranean region because of our climate so we can get them to come for the winter i mean i see them flowering in the garden at this time yeah one of them would be the very goneril plantation over john kerry bob which looks fantastic on my house is a big display area that looks really sort of striking in the summer of this time of year maybe the road to tensions the big job or and roger penrose reckon stuck in.

cornwall has a wild coast but a mild climate the gulf stream allows palm trees and tree ferns to thrive in the southwest corner of britain and it allows the horticultural arts of a garden crazy nation to reach their pentacle. that's it for today we'll be back here tomorrow but you can also join us on facebook and there you can farm plunder stories from around europe and sometimes there's also a look behind the scenes of your max all of them thanks for watching for me and all the could handle then. next time on your remarks vintage city buses are a rare sight on the roads so it. spectacle collectors from across europe are coming to a small village in germany for a big screen to boss me among them is fall to look out with its nine hundred twenty eight. dollars bond golders on the next edition.
