This ornately carved porch column may be lost forever in New Orleans if the neighborhood is destroyed to make room for a proposed medical complex. The city has placed notices on all the homes in the area to stop any repair work by homeowners returning after hurricane Katrina. Many of the homes in the area have already been restored.
KNOSSOS, GREECE - JUNE 2013: The palace also includes the Minoan column, a structure notably different from other Greek columns. The Minoan column was constructed from the trunk of a cypress tree and while most Greek columns are smaller at the top and wider at the bottom to create the illusion of greater height (entasis), the Minoan columns are smaller at the bottom and wider at the top. The columns at the Palace of Minos were painted red.

The Grenville Column at Stowe was erected in honour of Captain Thomas Grenville. Captain Grenville was fatally wounded while commanding HMS Defiance, during a maritime battle with the French off Cape Finisterre in 1747.
Slight dodging and burning on this one to accentuate the shadows cast by the winter sun. Other than that, I made slight adjustments in Camera Raw. I just love how the concrete shows off its texture here.
A hypostyle hall has a flat ceiling which is supported by columns. The Hypostyle Hall in Karnak Temple, Egypt, is the largest in the world. It has no equal anywhere, consisting of 134 columns, built circa 1300BC. It is incredible. (roof no longer exists)
Used some geometric distortion and vertical perspective adjustment in photoshop to hopefully achieve a reasonable image. The Egyptians didn't need such technology to build such incredible structures.
I'm not sure what the name of this building is, but it's a beautiful old building in downtown Birmingham, Alabama. Taken with a wooden 4x5 camera on polaroid 55 film.

Located at the east end of the Hedge Garden at the Morton Arboretum. Built by architect Arthur Myhrum in 1960 and commissioned by then Chair Suzette Morton Davidson, granddaughter of the Arboretum's founder. They are almost 19.5 feet tall and covered with northern Michigan dolomite for a lasting white color. Contrary to popular belief (including my own until I read this on the official Web site), the columns do NOT represent the four Morton brothers. That's a story that Suzette made up because so many people were asking her, "wha?"
Which, frankly, is a much better story anyway. ;-)
