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 the money more give us an opportunity it's a monument voters 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 blue for the next time green. but the clouds also play

a role visitors take away a different impression of the structure every time for the work that the throwback to more shorter. inside they can travel through twenty three metre long choose from one sphere to the next rising ever higher out. here people get to see another side of the attorney and. the exterior to the modern probably outside it looks very modern shiny and ugly. side it's quite rough of the spheres and tubes are crude and they give me a tell me i'm an industrial feel just with this building belgium wanted to show what he 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 one 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. an 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 the 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 and most

take a picture as a reminder of their visit. your imax 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 is a is a trooper and everything it's really very nice to see so took the. old church great that it still profits from tourism today it is evoked with a real i'm glad to have seen a good reason. to say let's do it and i like the architecture best from inside and out. the what if it came for the building it was certainly a big achievement and it offers a great view of brussels. that care to go over there.

even to alexander 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 view of the brazos of the surrounding area is fantastic for me i think you could discover interesting details about the city. it's a bit like looking out the window of an airplane of you and. i always like to come back out here look at and. the attorney and the belgian capital's most famous landmark is an impressive sight no matter how you look at it

for me it's pure self-expression. it's pure self-expression but luckily it became a business. i don't dress up for people i dress up for myself. but yeah. diana rigg sorry she's from buoyant 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 break. i was up i one me in the middle. it's a 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 worthless you know we were calling. the smiths attachment to their reserve the black great 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 bright colorful outfits to stand out from her surroundings. diana rekha saris mantra thinking colors helps get her through the cold sweats when 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 her after that it just became like. like brands started to contact me p.r. agency started to offer me collaboration and then like after a while like some rounds are 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. then i think i've got. the job proved to be quite lucrative. can i have my calculator. diana recalls 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 are about five thousand eight hundred euros she takes in even more revenue from her own labels she's been marketing shoes and promoting them on instagram since twenty seven. in twenty sixteen my emo clothing line at the market. political business idea features items for children a mother of two herself off to her maternity leave and relocating she's working full tilt once again she knows what makes up a blog successful. most thought 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. her 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 must color combination so i paid more attention to this new tells because i know that they we can 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 . but now it's time for your mike

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 pinnacle. and that's it for today we'll be back here tomorrow but you can also join us on facebook and there you go from plan to stories from around europe and sometimes there's also a look behind the scenes of your max thanks for watching for me and all the could handle then. next time on euro max vintage city bouncers are a rare sight on the road so it. some of these old is all are unique spectacles collectors from across europe come to a small village in germany from. among them is falsehood lookout with its nine hundred twenty eight friend. always bought golders on the next edition.
