In 1947 a disastrous fire destroyed the original 17th century 'Father' Smith organ. Its replacement, by JW Walker, had become unplayable by 1981. The present organ, the third, was built in 1987 by Metzler Orgelbau of Zurich with the intention of recapturing the spirit of the original 'Father' Smith. It is undoubtedly one of the finest instruments of its kind, and incorporates the few of Smith's decorative pipeshades which survived the fire.

During a visit to Washington D.C. in April 2008, Kelli and I got caught in thunderstorm and took refuge in the Jefferson Memorial. I passed the time by taking pictures through the columns at the scenery beyond. These were in color, of course, but so many of them look even better in black and white, with the strong lines of the columns and monuments and the texture of the marble.

View of "Endless Column" by Tal Streeter (1968), Storm King Art Center, Mountainville, NY. This sculpture is 70 feet high and in different light is a bright red. (c) All rights reserved.
30 August 2011. The nearer column has been leaning for over nine years. Its imitator began only
a few months ago. Though the second column seems to be tilting lower.
I wonder if London Buses will ever repair them? Or will the columns "lean that way forever" - as Leonard Cohen sang?

I thought I would try doing some designs in columns and giving it some color. The lines are anything but straight, so we'll call it primitive art and pretend like I meant for them to be that way. I also didn't realize that a silver Sharpie would be opaque, so it got rid of my shading in the circles. I tried some Bic permanent markers in this one, too, and I like the way they colored as well as the Sharpies.
