I've been wanting to visit this spot for years, and finally found a day to do so. I had clear skies, so I put cameras facing in opposite directions. This camera looked out from the columns, and the other camera captured the North Star over these columns. A small moon provided helpful illumination over the landscape; this is a single image with no compositing/stacking involved.
We took a closer look at the column before completing our walk. Like everything else on the estate this is a very ostentatious monument to a largely forgotten military campaign.
Thanks to everyone for your kind comments - I'm glad you have enjoyed this whistle stop tour of Blenheim Park. Tomorrow we shall be somewhere completely different!

Here's a closer view of the ruins of the James Barbour mansion at the Barboursville Vineyards in Barboursville, Virginia, focusing on the columns at the entrance. Barbour was a 19th Century politician who served as Governor of Virginia, U.S. Senator, and Secretary of War. Information from the Barboursville Vineyards website and Wikipedia.

Light & shadows among the columns.
The temperature hit 50 degrees celsius / 122 fahrenheit so any shade was welcome.
The James Bond Movie The Spy Who Loved Me ( 1977 ) was also filmed here.

Interessanti sono le statue (Telemoni), che ornano l'ultimo piano del palazzo, in quanto scolpiti nell'intento gesto scaramantico di toccarsi i genitali.
Nelson's Column is a monument in honor of the British naval hero Horatio Nelson and his victory (and death) at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. This column of honor was built in the period 1840-1843 on Trafalgar Square, which became famous in the 1820s. constructed and named after the famous naval battle at Trafalgar. The granite column is in Corinthian style, the column is 46 meters high. The capital (the top of the column) is decorated with acanthus leaves made of bronze from British cannons. At the bottom of the column are four bronze reliefs, depicting Nelson's four major victories: the Battle of Cape St Vincent (1797), Battle of the Nile (1798), Battle of Copenhagen (1801) and Battle of Trafalgar (1805). The bronze of these relief panels is said to come from captured French cannons.
my favorite season of the year, the smell of rotten leafs, the hard wind & rain, the days getting shorter and the nights getting colder, the complaining and the idea winter is on his way...
I just love it ;-)))))

Patio de los Leones de la Alhambra de Granada, donde un pórtico o galería rodea completamente el patio. Se sostiene con columnas y arcos en maravillosa combinación entre macizos y vanos: se repiten en número y forma, simétricamente colocados. Los arcos de la galería no son sustentantes porque la sebka que los decora es hueca, como podemos comprobar cuando pasan los rayos del sol entre ellos, de tal forma que se sostienen con pilares colocados sobre las columnas y un dintel sobre los arcos sostenidos por estos pilares. Todo simboliza la idea del Edén musulmán, apareciendo las columnas como si de palmeras del paraiso se trataran.
Patio de los Leones in the Alhambra in Granada, where a porch or gallery completely surrounding the patio. It is held with columns and arches in wonderful combination of solid and voids, are repeated in number and form, symmetrically placed. The arches of the gallery are not sustaining because the sets sebka is hollow, as can be seen when the sun's rays pass between them, so they are supported by pillars placed on the columns and a lintel above the arches supported by these abutments. All Eden symbolizes the idea of Muslim columns appearing as if paradise palm trees were treated.

Until 1958, these columns were used in the U.S. Capitol. Now, you can find them on a Hill that borders Maryland and Washington D.C., at the National Arboretum. They are a bit spooky looking, if you ask me.
