Houston, we have a problem
Some 35 years ago, my father brought us to this heritage of the Expo from 1958, a structure of 9 spheres interconnected with each other with tubes. Puberty brought up the rebellious side of me and I stayed in the car, while the rest of the family went up the already decaying building. Although I was already smittened by the photography bug back then, I hardly gave it a glance.
History is repeating itself, because today it's me bringing my kids to this magnificent place. Luckily, my kids haven't reached puberty yet.
It's taller than I remembered and the renovation has given it the splendor it deserves. The spheres are now plated with bling and the whole structure looks like a space craft ready to take off to Star Wars X, Battlestar Galactica XI or Star Trek XII.
Of course, this is a well known landmark in Belgium attracting thousands of tourists every year who take an equally amount of pictures. Hopefully, with this photo, I have succeeded in telling my own story about this building to my kids, so that one day they will tell theirs to their children.
Arrrrggghhhh.... why do I sound like a grandpa ??!!.... @#*&^%$
