Trajan's Column, on the left, dates from the year 113 and commemorates the Roman conquest of Dacia, modern Romania.
View from the Monument of Vittorio Emanuele II or Altare della Patria (Altar of the Nation). Also called "Il Vittoriano" (to celebrate victory) it was built between 1885 & 1911.
Originally designed by Giuseppe Sacconi, is dedicated to the King Victor Emmanuel II of Savoia, who achieved the unification of Italy in 1870, with Rome as its capital.
You've heard of Doric, Ionic and Corinthian? Well, here's another classic style of column - topped by a stork's nest.
This stork massively upstaged the poor tour guide, who was trying to point out the various sights of the ruins of Volubilis.
Despite the people's constant effort to repaint the wooden torii gates, the moisture of the exuberant grove gradually seeps into the wood, cracking it oopen and helping the funti grow. One of the vibrant red torii columns (and a banner behind it) at the Sasuke Inari shrine, Kamakura, Japan.
This Synagogue is an "open secret" - it's been part of Open House Chicago. and has not been used in decades. The community slowly changed from Hebrew to Vietnamese. With nobody to support this house of worship, it sits, slowly decaying, minimally maintained, in limbo. It's an amazing building to shoot - at the same time, almost sad. Water is slowly damaging everything, from ceilings to floors - and everything inbetween.

View of the columns at the National Building Museum from the fourth floor. The fourth floor is generally restricted to visitors, but you can get up there by taking the building tour.
The columns are made of brick, which was then plastered over and painted. They are 75 feet high and 8 feet in diameter, which puts them among the tallest interior columns in the world.
