This image was taken behind the line of columns that front The U. S. Grant Tomb in Morningside Heights, NYC.
It's hard to take a picture in Rome that doesn't include church domes and the remains of old Roman columns. They seem to be everywhere.
As always, your comments and faves are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.

A rostral column is a type of victory column originating in ancient Greece and Rome, where they were erected to commemorate a naval military victory. Its defining characteristic is the integrated prows or rams of ships, representing captured or destroyed enemy ships. The name derives from the Latin rostrum meaning the bow of a naval vessel.
Rostral columns of the modern world include the Columbus Monument at Columbus Circle in New York City, and the paired Saint Petersburg Rostral Columns.
The Doric columns sit on a granite plinth and are constructed of brick coated with a deep terra cotta red stucco and decorated with bronze anchors and four pairs of bronze ship prows (rostra). Seated marble figures decorate the base of each column each representing the major rivers of Russia: the Volga and Dnieper at the northern Rostral Column, Neva and Volkhov at the southern one. The Rostral Columns were originally intended to serve as beacons and originally were topped by a light in the form of a Greek brazier and lit by oil. The braziers have been removed and the tops of the columns refitted with gas torches that continue to be lit on ceremonial occasions.
I missed this one among the RAWs the first time I started editing the eruption photos, now here it is, one of my personal favorites.
The photo depicts Calbuco Volcano erupting, among the clouds and the ashes two things come into play, the lava and fire going towards heaven and the lightnings.

We all know Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square, seen here silhouetted against the spring sun as the fountain in front plays against the sunlight.
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.
The kind you might see on a multi-tier wedding cake.

Statue de St. Pierre, La Collégiale de Neuchâtel, Suisse, No. 9553.
"Le chevet de la Collégiale comporte un remarquable ensemble sculpté de la dernière décennie du XIIe siècle. Le portail sud abrite les statues des deux apôtres fondateurs de l’Eglise, Pierre et ses clefs, Paul et sa tablette qui mentionne l’écharde plantée dans sa chair évoquée dans la deuxième épître aux Corinthiens (statues remplacées par des copies au XIXe siècle)."
At the back of the NGV (National Gallery of Victoria) is a relatively small sculpture park with water features, grassy areas and this colourful columnar structure with a large blocky semi human dark figure in the centre. The coloumns are various shades of bright colours and some have leaf motifs. At Crown Casino, a short walk away are some white marble like columns reflecting on the floor. So for Montage Mosaic Monday here are the various columns found on a wander around the Melbourne CBD. Using my Lensbaby Sweet 50 to give that dreamy look.
