A #Belgian thingy?

Until 2016 publication of these photos would have been illegal. From the website of the #Atomium (pictured here:)
‘#copyright restrictions exempt private individuals (…) where photographs are taken by private individuals and shown on private websites for no commercial purpose.’

SABAM, #Belgium's society for collecting copyrights and having an illustrious reputation for claiming copyrights (even when it’s not even holding it,) has claimed worldwide intellectual property rights on all reproductions of the Atomium and has gone so far to demand a US website to remove all images from its pages.

Luckily Belgium has come to its senses and since 2016 there is freedom of panorama, allowing pictures of public buildings under copyright to be legally distributed.

All three images are details of the Atomium: 9 gigantic (18m diameter) Stainless steel clad spheres joined together with steel tubes (which hold the escalators and elevators) shaped together in unit cell that represent an iron crystal, magnified 165 million times.

Threlkeld Quarry & Mining Museum

Little taster of a visit to this wonderful place. If you love old machinery to photograph (could spend days there ) and the history of mining. it's really worth visiting.

Will be a lot bigger post of shots from here but for today a taste.
