There are also four Ionic marble columns and five marble statues were placed between them;
The 1st statue:
It belongs to Hermanubis, who is depicted as a young man wearing a Greek tunic with a torch in his hand. Next to his feet, there is a seated figure of Jackal (Anubis).
The 2nd statue:
It belongs to god Harpocratis who is depicted as a naked child with his thumb in his mouth, he is also shown with a side lock of hair.
The 3rd statue:
It is the largest one and it belongs to the goddess Isis who is depicted in the Greek form as a standing figure of a woman wearing a tunic with a knot on her dress, she is also crowned with two horns and a sun disk, and she holds the situla (jar for sacred water).
The 4th and 5th statues:
They are for god Osiris in canopic form, he is represented as a jar and its lid takes the shape of the head of god Osiris.
The pedestal, the votive marble foot and 5 marble statues are right now in the Antiquities Museum of The New Library of Alexandria, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.

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.
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.

Black Fair 2013 is open! – Mon Chéri featuring it..

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.
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).

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.
(This 18th Century Temple has ten ionic columns supporting a dome, with a statue of Hercules slaying a Centaur at its centre.)
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.

Friends' Meeting House, formerly a Freemasons' Hall, 1817-19, by William Wilkins, in a Greek Revival style. Limestone ashlar front, with coursed limestone rubble to sides and rear; roof not visible apart from two cylindrical lanterns. Rectangular plan, with a central principal chamber, flanked by secondary rooms and staircase with portico. The building has a single storey and basement. The central block is of three bays, flanked by lower rusticated bays. The main block has a projecting, pedimented Ionic portico with two columns in antis.
The Friends' Meeting House was built as a Masonic Hall for the local Lodges, and opened on 23 September 1819. It was an expensive undertaking and the Freemasons soon found that they could not afford the building. The Freemasons left the building in the 1820s and it was used for a variety of purposes, first as an Assembly Room and exhibition space, and by the 1830s as a Non-conformist chapel, until re-opened as the Bethesda Chapel in 1842, dated on the pediment above the portico. In 1866, and until recently, the building was the home of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). Today it serves as a bookshop.
This is a fine example of a Greek Revival building by a renowned architect in this idiom, whose commissions included the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square.
By renowned architect W H Playfair, 1850-57 with later alterations by W T Oldrieve, 1911-12. Cruciform Ionic temple/gallery on stylobate. E and W elevations pilastraded; higher central transverse block with hexastyle Ionic porticoes to centre of E and W elevations. Antifixae and acroteria to plain pediments. Solid parapet to higher central section, balustered to lower.
Competition for the design of the building was assessed by Sir Charles Barry. Playfair's original scheme was for two identical galleries housing the National Gallery and Royal Scottish Academy flanking the Mound roadway but was recommended by the Treasury that they be combined as a single structure. Foundation stone laid by Prince Albert 30th August 1850. Funded by the Treasury and the Board of Trustees, a large part of the site being given by the City at a nominal cost. Twin porticoes to N and S reflect the building's original dual function, divided longitudinally to accommodate the exhibition galleries of the RSA to E and the National Gallery permanent collection to W. Cost constraint was a factor in the unadorned style of the building compared to the former Royal Institution. In 1912 the RSA galleries moved to the former Royal Institution building immediately to the N. Internal alterations were made by W T Oldrieve in 1911-12. A railway tunnel runs under the building. In 1970 additional galleries were constructed in the basement to the SE and in 2001 an underground link was built to the former Royal Institution building.

The Methodist church has been active in Jacksonville as early as 1834. The current was built between 1947-1951. This is why the front portico is attenuated and the spire atop the steeple id a lattice work of leaves. This building is very typical of mid century classical forms.
