Beautifully captured! Love the tones too!

nice title:)

Going up it scared the hell out of me. I couldn’t get back down quickly enough!

Classic title

what are you doing with the colors? it’s amazing – a fantastic image, paul! – and thanks a lot for your kind comment, I appreciate it a lot

Great shot…~A

Hi Paul , this is a very good picture. And funny to.
I like the Atomium very much. It is my favorite Belgian building !
Well done.
Anna

Wow, I’d love to see this in real life, what an amazing place! The tones are, as always, fabulous! Nice play on words too :)

Graet shot Paul…what an amazing place..not sure of the title;) ...the sparse colours are really effective;)

Is that dude really urinating lol… If so the title is fantastic… great shot…

No man is an island, uriNation.

brilliant location!

i’be been there…!!!
love it, the metallic corpse just sort of silently creeps into the picture from the side, almost alien like and out of place

Great tones and great title!!!

I really love this one. M:>

were do you find these place???? class, you certainly love your orange

this is amazing [aul you just seem to find the most suitable places everytime!!!¡ i love the feel you give every photo …. beautiful!!!!

As usual I love your effects. The colour cast kind of adds to the feeling that if this was the future, the air may be thick and dirty – and of course inside the pod would be constantly pumping ultra clean, filtrated and probably chemically treated air! Lovely shot.

outstanding..never even heard of that before…fantastic shot

hey paul! clever title and very interesting sci-fi image….i LOVE it! (yes i’m the cosmos freak!)

Great capture and title!

Wonderful! love seeing what catches your eye as you travel…Excellent work.

Wonderful!

another outstanding piece of work! love the tones…

That must be one hell of a macro lens your using there Paul ! .

a great image there Paul..I particularly like the whisp of steam coming from the vent…and equally outstanding title : ) Wen

Wow, looks like a face, teeth at the bottom, donnie darko style rabbit face….love the way you’ve framed this, Paul!

LOL What a shot.

Clever title, great everything else!!

‘Big Brother is Watching You’ it looks like the face of a ferocious rabbit! Can’t imagine 9 of them. Ha…great image Paul. Love the beautiful light and burnished tones of the sphere and the splashes of red. You are obviously a man of the future wanting to live in a spherical metallic pod…could be interesting..soon you will be in a cigar shaped one winging it home!

paul this is awesum !!! its a keeper!

just so great and the title is perfect

Very War of the Worlds!! If images are brain food then you are a Michelin five star chef!!

beautiful capture, perfect exposure and scene

Is this guy really urinating? I love your take on this, avoiding the usual tourist shots… and that tacky temporary construction shack actually mimics the dreary interior decor which they could have done a way better job on than they did. They actually replaced the entire aluminum shell a couple of years back which consists of thousands of triangular shaped pieces. they were selling the original pieces for about $1.000 each depending on the size… and although I just ragged on the interior decor, I think of the monument with great nostalgia and regret not having paid the price and bought a piece of it. Paul, another great take!

this could be straight out of dr. who, cooool

The tones in this one are great. Brilliant image. luv it again!

For the love of all gods !!!! what a fantastic shot…love the guy standing there…that makes the whole picture. Super

What a pisser – sorry!

I love all the different elements included in the image. Wonderful work as usual Paul

WOW !

Like the nearly surreal scene

Brilliant.. I want to know what sort of processor you have running up stairs.. I want one, I love how you see things Paul.. Awesome work..

Stunning capture!

Wow. Excellent in so man ways. I lov the tone and surreal atmosphere.

great colour tones… great subject!

Love the capture of the vapour from the vent. Like you’ve frozen time.

I love the color, the luminance and the temperature of this image. Great Work

Another Great shot.

Fantastic….your images always seem to leave me in awe!:)

Great and slightly surreal – this guy seems to think highly of the view.

brilliant concept….love it

Love the title, love the spherical metal monster grinning menacingly. Cooool. :))

So cool – such a strong message here too. Love this shot Paul

LOL great title and what a shot. This is awesome.
The title says it all Paul this is incredible. It does have a very surreal feeling to it.
Beautiful

I love every single element of this image Paul… the enormous, shiny atom, the puff of smoke, the fella taking a leak… such brilliant juxtaposition to create a somewhat absurd piece of art.

This is timeless. and I believe futurism was experiencing an upswing in the late 50’s.
nice shot.:)

the atom is Fe (iron) if I’m not mistaken.
A few years ago there was a big discussion in taking this atomium down. It didn’t happen.
If fact they started renovating. I’m glad you liked it.

As much as I’m fascinated by this huge very cool sphere..
I’m even more fascinated by the “peeing stranger”....! (Is that you?!)
Are you a mad scientist? heheh…(looks like a lab coat) Bizarre..the kind
of photo that instantly makes you shake yourself because it’s alarming
and somewhat confusing yet you simply must get to the bottom of it
and cannot stop looking! In other words, compelling work. ;)

a remarkable construction and observation Paul…

Instantly recognisable,classic Vanzella, i’ll buy the book .

Great stuff, I originally thought it was just a montage work but the fact that it is a real place makes it all the more amazing. Again it has that subliminal aspect of something about to happen…other than the man peeing of course.

Beautiful work Paul. The bottom half reminds me very much of Jeffrey Smart (spelling)Love the colours!

this is very nice captured! welldone

this is very nice captured! welldone

As always Paul with these kind of shots, your sense of perspective and timing to introduce unusual elements is outstanding. Nice work.

Cool shot I love the reflection in the giant chrome ball. So much to see it this shot and the colours are great.

This is a great place that I know so well :)

Love it! The orange really “PINGS”!!

LOL, bottom half – cool urban shot, top half – what the f..k!
looks like something has landed without the guy even knowing.

I would love to live in one of those! It would be easy to move just roll!!
Great shot Paul!!

I do love this. It seems to illustrate modern society perfectly. There is the image of the atom symbolising our pursuit of science as we try to explain the workings of our world instead of just appreciating what is there for us, the attention seeking of the young as they leave their tags, the industrial rubbish bin (oh, the rubbish we produce, shame on us), the lonely figure reminding us that loneliness exists in a city teeming with people, the worrying dark images of nature the dead trees (okay it is winter I guess), and that vent with the worrying steam and a stain of pollution, and, finally, the cold hard concrete barriers, terse signs and bitumen removing our nearness to the Earth. I do indeed love this.

Nice capture :)

Awesome capture well done !

What a crazy place!! So well captured and turned into art!!

Awesome shot.

1 hour out of Brussels? You had some traffic! If you drive one hour out of Brussels you are in France, Holland or at my place. In the last case: drop by for a beer next time!
Ehr, back to your image. Like your approach, very non touristy and with a fine dose of humor. It really does like a futuristic scene like you shot it. I can appreciate what you did with the colors. Excellent shot.

I always enjoy immersing myself in your urban landscape work – your choice and use of colour is sublime and I wish to purchase a pair of Vanzella glasses to see these scenes as you do. Exceptional work

Great work, love the colours, the bottom section almost looks painted. And the sole figure located on the sloping street just makes it.

reckless behaviour.

the reds in this image heeds a warning to stop and think.

each action a reaction. each move a consequence.

the future in the hands of our present motives.

excellent composition and design!

If mechanism can have have a sense of humor, this is it.

bahahaha this is soooo quirky…. urine could be our fuel of the future or it could be an up yours to technology :p

I like your humour Paul and this photo too!!

You know you really piss me off with shots like this. I absolutely love it.

I never got to stop at the Atomium. Wishing i had of taken five of the bus now.

Come to think of it.he was probably dying to get off the bus too.

Great shot of the Atomium! Original…
It’s one hour from Brussels when you’re in traffic jam ; )

I love this. It is so quirky. The atomic sphere looks like a massive robotic face. The fellow in the distance who could be urinating is a hilarious touch. The touches of red ground the composition and the surreality of this is just so odd. What mind sees this, I ask? What mind, indeed…!

This is so great!!!!

We would like to see it in our European Everyday Life GROUP

Heh.
Everything you touch turns to gold.
Wait…I didn’t mean that to be like…well…you know...

:-/

I mean like Midas!
Trademark hues that make your work stand out. :)
Fine work!
