Dreams are seldom what they seem...
I'm not normally a big TV/Netflix fan. But I've binged The Sandman - mainly for The Corinthian. If you've watched The Sandman as well, who is your favorite character?
I'd like to challenge you to recreate and photograph them, and I'd like to see it.

The Corinthian Column has come alive that watches and follows visitors as they move through the gallery. NGA, Canberra.
The Corinthian is a 186 m tall apartment building in Manhattan. Built in 1988, it was designed by Der Scutt, design architect, and John Schimenti. Its fluted towers with bay windows are unusual compared to the traditional boxy shape of buildings in the city.

Panoramic views in spring from the top of Acrocorinth ruins, I saved these at a fair viewing size, I hope flickr doesn't shrink them to a miniature filmstrip again. BTW flickr has been functioning without any problems for me for the past couple of months, no annoying panda messages or comments failing to upload. a miracle, knock on wood.
2 Corinthians 6 v 16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: 'I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.'
2 Corinthiens 6 v 16 Quel rapport y a-t-il entre le temple de Dieu et les idoles? Car nous sommes le temple du Dieu vivant, comme Dieu l'a dit: J'habiterai et je marcherai au milieu d'eux; je serai leur Dieu, et ils seront mon peuple. C'est pourquoi, Sortez du milieu d'eux, Et séparez-vous, dit le Seigneur; Ne touchez pas à ce qui est impur, Et je vous accueillerai. Je serai pour vous un père, Et vous serez pour moi des fils et des filles, Dit le Seigneur tout-puissant.
I Corinthians 13
Valentine's Day is a day of love,
For showing that we care,
And if we read the Bible,
God describes love there:
If we speak like celestial angels
From heaven up above,
All our words mean nothing
If we don’t have Christian love.
Love is patient, love is kind;
It doesn’t brag or boast;
Love conquers pride and envy;
It is never self-engrossed.
Love is not rude or angry;
Forgiveness counters wrong;
Love stays away from evil;
It sings a truthful song.
Love is full of trust and hope;
It always perseveres;
Love never fails; It’s faithful;
To the Bible it adheres.
And if you give this kind of love
To your special Valentine,
You’ll be loving right in harmony
With God’s own sweet design.

A lot of sheep paddocks have these odd circles created by the animals. I thought it would make a great image with this grand backdrop. It needed something else though and Leonardo's "Vitruvian Man" came to mind. It took three attempts, in different light conditions to make the image work, though. When the clouds, mist and rain rolled in, I knew I just had to wait for the sun to pop through. The scary part was that the main road was only 50 metres away.
The last of today's design scraps, I designed this capital of the Corinthian order to top this common column design: www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2693252
Templo Romano de Córdoba, Andalusia, Spain.
Its construction began during the reign of Emperor Claudius (41-54 AD) and ended some forty years later, during the reign of Emperor Domitian (81-96 CE). Presumably it was dedicated to the imperial cult. The temple underwent some changes in the 2nd century, reforms that coincide with the relocation of the colonial forum.
In the area had already been found architectural elements, such as drums of columns, capitals, etc. all in marble, so the area was known as los marmolejos. This area of Córdoba could become between the 1st century and the 2nd century, as the provincial forum of the Colonia Patricia, title that received the city during the Roman rule.
Proportion is a defining characteristic of the Roman Corinthian order: the "coherent integration of dimensions and ratios in accordance with the principles of symmetria" are noted by Mark Wilson Jones, who finds that the ratio of total column height to column-shaft height is in a 6:5 ratio, so that, secondarily, the full height of column with capital is often a multiple of 6 Roman feet while the column height itself is a multiple of 5. In its proportions, the Corinthian column is similar to the Ionic column, though it is more slender, and stands apart by its distinctive carved capital.
The abacus upon the capital has concave sides to conform to the outscrolling corners of the capital, and it may have a rosette at the center of each side. Corinthian columns were erected on the top level of the Roman Colosseum, holding up the least weight, and also having the slenderest ratio of thickness to height. Their height to width ratio is about 10:1.

Originated in ancient Greece and taking its name from the area of Corinth, the CORINTHIAN HELMET (Ancient Greek κόρυς κορινθίη, Modern κράνος κορινθιακό) was a type of bronze helmet which in its later styles covered the entire head and neck, with slits for the eyes and mouth. A large curved projection protected the nape of the neck, similar to those seen on later Roman and conquistador helmets and the German Stahlhelm.

The original Pantheon was built by Marcus Agrippa in 27 B.C. - the inscription on the front outside still says: M.AGRIPPA.L.F.COS.TERTIUM.FECIT which means "Marcus Agrippa, son of Lucius, who has been consul three times, built this". Modern archaeological research has shown that the Pantheon now standing here is not the one Agrippa built - instead it was erected sometime after 110 A.D. after the original had been destroyed by fire in 80 A.D. (it was first rebuilt by Domitian after the fire, but that one also burned down). Earlier historians thought this done by Hadrian, but new research could indicate it was actually done already by Trajan, and his architect Apollodorus of Damascus, and then finished by Hadrian. The actual function of the building in ancient times is not known.
In 609 the Pantheon was consecrated to be a church by Pope Boniface IV, and it still is a church, called Sancta Maria ad Martyres (now Santa Maria dei Martiri, and informally known as Santa Maria Rotonda). Since the Renaissance it has been used as a burial place and here two of Italy's kings are buried: Vittorio Emanuele II and Umberto I.

This building is currently the Galveston Arts Center. The building on the corner of 22nd and Strand was the first national bank in Texas operating under the National Bank Act of 1863, only the second chartered bank in the state. Throughout the latter part of the 19th century it was the most substantial bank that the state of Texas operated under a national charter. What interested me most about this building was it's intricate frieze and classic Corinthian capitals. It harkens back to a time when Galveston's Strand was known as "Wall Street of the Southwest." .

Built by David Hamilton in 1842 on the site of Virginia Mansion, the building originally housed the Glasgow Ship Bank which merged with the Glasgow Union Bank to create the Union Bank of Scotland. Its head office was situated in the building for 73 years. During this time, a number of well-known artists and architects contributed to alterations and enhancements, including James Salmon, who added the banking hall in 1854, and John Burnet, who completely redesigned the building in 1876.
In 1929 the building was converted into the city's High Court and many of its finest features architectural and decorative features were covered. These features were rediscovered in the course of refurbishment by Stefan King's G1 Group, which acquired the building in the 1990s for conversion to an up-market dining, drinking and dancing venue. Launched in 1999, Corinthian houses bars, a nightclub and private dining rooms that look out over a restaurant dominated by imposing pillars, ornate cornicing, a decorative ceiling and unique circular chandeliers.
