Ionic columns and pillars at the east end of the Basilica Stoa,
on the west side of the Upper Gymnasium.
The Basilica Stoa (Royal Colonnade) was a 160 metre long, two-storey, marble walkway with three aisles and a wooden roof, which ran east-west from the Upper Gymnasium, along the north side of the Upper Agora, in front of the Bouleuterion and the Prytaneion. As with other stoas in Ephesus and other Greek and Roman cities, its main function was to provide shelter and shade to people walking between buildings.

Tympanum Detail. From the level of the capitals upwards a variety of colors is used, the predominant ones being shades of red and blue applied to the individual decorative elements: Ionic and Doric moldings, frieze, taeniae, astragals, Lesbian moldings, and alternating palmettes and lotus flowers, which adorned the raking and horizontal cornices of the tympanum of the pediment and the Ionic architrave.
The tympanum of the pediment (height 1 m.) has a depiction of a married couple half—reclining and facing each other, as at a banquet, consisting of a man of mature age with grey hair and a woman who rests her chin on her right hand. Their eyes do not meet. The man holds the key to a temple, an indication that he held some political or religious office, or that he is a god (Pluto?). They both wear clothes with rich drapery - a himation and a chiton. The plastic volumes of their bodies are worked by intensifying the color tones: dark red, violet, ochre for the shadows, greenish, grey, blue, pink and combinations of dilute grey and black.

Norfolk Southern Local K92, the Vardo extra, heads down the Williamsport Secondary at Valley Mall with Wes, Eric, and Jeremy Hill (conductor) in the cab.
Many people think this line is owned by Winchestern & Western, but it is owned by NS, until it switches to Winchester & Western ownership just South of Williamsport. NS keeps the line to serve two customers in Williamsport, CertainTeed and Southern Ionics, which are both getting served today.

The Naxian sphinx stood on a tall Ionic column below the Apollo Temple terrace at Delphi, an imposing beast from its perch about ten meters high. It served as a guardian within the sanctuary and, indirectly, as a reminder of Naxian power and influence. The sphinx was excavated at Delphi in 1861, below the polygonal retaining wall in an area located to left of the Athenians’ Agora.
The sphinx sits flat on its haunches, its forelegs fully extended. The chest is carved with a schematized breastplate of feathers; the wings extensively detailed with longer, more elaborate versions of the same. The head, set on a long neck, faces straight ahead. The long, narrow face exhibits triangular-shaped eyes, a flatish mouth and a receding chin. The hair is treated with incised scallops around the forehead and regular, continuous rows of beads on the crown of the head, held in place by a fillet tied at the back. A single, fat tendril subdivided into round beads drops straight down from behind each ear, while the mass of hair, beaded only along the edges, follows the curve of the back of the neck. Details such as the triangular eyes with horizontal lower lid, flat cheeks and small mouth barely cut into the head suggest attribution to a school of sculptors rooted in the Cyclades, perhaps in Naxos itself. The long, slender body of the sphinx is also characteristically Cycladic
The column is divided into forty-four narrow flutes, and carries an early Ionic-style capital with rounded echinus and small, eyeless volutes. The inscription on the base, which rewards the Naxians with *P*R*O*M*A*N*T*E*I*A (preference with respect to the oracle), is later (4th c.).

This is a shot of the internal, ionic order colonnade (viewed from the South) of the ‘Stoa’ (covered walkway or arcade or freestanding colonnade) built by and named after Attalus II (aka Attalos II, King of Pergamon) in the ancient ‘Agora’ of Athens, Greece. The ancient iconic 2-storey building was originally built in 159–148 BC and measured 394 × 66 ft (120 × 20 m approximately) and was made of Pentelic marble and limestone.
The current Stoa was reconstructed in 1952–56 by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens and measures 377 × 66 ft (115 × 20 m approx.). The Doric order was used for the 45 pillars of the exterior colonnade on the ground floor with Ionic order for the interior colonnade. The current Stoa houses the Museum of the Ancient Agora.
This large Ionic dipteral (two rows of columns around the perimeter) temple at Ephesus (in modern day Turkey) was built to replace an earlier temple that was destroyed by arson. This temple was at least 50% larger in its linear dimensions than the famous Parthenon in Athens.
The temple was featured on Antipater of Sidon's list of the world's Seven Wonders. Unfortunately all of those wonders were eventually destroyed by the ravages of time save the great pyramid of Khufu (Cheops) at Giza. Today, only a single re-erected column remains at the site of the Temple of Artemis.
The door like openings in the gable are based on a depiction of the temple seen on an ancient silver coin. This LEGO model is built in 1:100 scale (or slightly less than 1/2 minifig scale).

If you have a good memory, you may remember the Corinthian column I made some time ago. I got a lot of good comments on that one (thank you!), and I wanted to build some more... stuff.
If you have a perfect memory, you may remember that I said the Ionic column was hard to do because of its spirals (volutes, if you prefer fancy terms). I did have a go at designing one however, but I began to think the spirals were impossible to do. And if you don't get those right, your column is not right.
If you have a good eyesight, you may have noticed that I'm presenting now an Ionic column nontheless. What happened? Some would call it a miracle, some just inspiration. I found the Indiana Jones whip.
Once I had my spiral (the only spirally part in LEGO, I believe), the column flowed onto my LDD screen. At almost the first try, I had something I was happy with.
And that's what you see in front of you. Before anyone asks: the column should be buildable in real life. I know the whips aren't available in white, but everything else apart form the One Rings I used, is available in white (now even the croissant!). Furthermore, I believe the column's quite stable. It uses the same technique that I learned from Jamie, in the designer video on the LEGO Creator website. This is my tribute to that video, because it made me want to make columns. And I've come a long way.
So I hope you enjoy this Ionic column in minifig scale. And I looked it up for you: this is the first one in LEGO to appear on the internet.

This is a corner of the Erechtheion on the Acropolis of Athens, emphasizing several of the columns. The architecture and the engineering behind these structures is phenomenal even by modern standards, let alone imagining how they were constructed!

Just opposite the Hyatt Regency is a little park in the central reservation of the carriageway. Everything in it is dedicated to the fight against cancer. It is very inspiring.
The Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Survivors Plaza on Loyola Avenue. The park has been completely refurbished after suffering significant damage during Hurricane Katrina.
The unique pocket park features 14 x 25-foot monolithic columns in parallel rows and a triumphal arch amid palm trees, shrubs and seasonal flowers, benches and a newly refurbished fountain.
It's designed to be a tribute to the living, and a healing oasis in the heart of the Central Business District. Dedicated in 1995, the plaza was the pride of then-Mayor Sidney Barthelemy.
At age 52, Richard A. Bloch was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer and told he had three months to live. When he beat the odds through aggressive treatment, doctors suggested that he establish the means to help other patients survive. Bloch devoted the rest of his life to inspiring hope and the courage to fight the disease.
Sculptors designed brick and concrete pillars using powerful symbols from ancient and modern cultures, drawing on traditions as varied as those from Indonesia, Egypt, Greece, Persia, Arabia, Russia and pre-Columbian America. Local artist Brian Borrello designed the New Orleans column, with brass instruments encircling its capital to reflect the city's jazz heritage.
The park features a brick "positive mental attitude" walkway flanked by a series of bronze plaques communicating inspirational and instructional messages about cancer. Among them: "Cancer is the most curable of chronic diseases."
Eight bronze figures crafted by Victor Salmones symbolize patients and their families before, during and after treatment.
"The park is a tribute to life," Annette Bloch said.
The park itself is a survivor, after being damaged by Hurricane Katrina's winds and the floodwaters that followed the levee breaches. The globe from the fountain was rolling down Loyola Avenue.
Michael Smith, general manager of the nearby Hyatt Regency, arranged to adopt the neutral ground. As the Hyatt's general manager before, during and after Katrina, he had returned to lead the charge.
When the Hyatt was renovated after the storm, the entrance was moved to Loyola Avenue, and the park became its front yard.
The columns are now patched and power-sprayed, the foliage is trimmed and the fountain refurbished. Now, the park not only is a tribute to cancer survivors, but also a fine symbol of the city's post-Katrina revival.

Before her time on the Irish Sea, the Ionic Ferry had been the P&O/General Steam Navigation/Normandy Ferries ferry "Dragon" built in Nantes in 1967 and working from Southampton (later Portsmouth) to Le Havre. In 1986 she was renamed and moved to the Larne-Cairnryan route. This sleek ferry is seen in 1989 at Larne Harbour in P&O livery.
The Four Columns ("Les Quatre Columnes" in Catalan) are four Ionic columns originally created by Josep Puig i Cadafalch in Barcelona, Catalonia. They were erected in 1919, where the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc now stands.

Ionic capital from the sacred area.
The photo shows an example of the classical Ionic capital. No necking is present. The capital leans directly against the column’s shaft decorated with flutes and fillets. Astragal and echinus, respectively embellished with bead-and-reel and egg-and-dart motifs, hold up four volutes drawn by a geometric spiral developing for an angle equivalent to three circumferences. Honeysuckles leaves decorate the connection points between volutes and echinus. The line connecting the two volutes supports a cyma reversed abacus decorated with a leaf-and-dart motif.
