From the level of the Ionic capitals there are glimpses of the full hall. Interesting detail.
Masonic Temple, Manchester, Bridge St.by Percy Worthington. 1929
The elements of plaster and decoration retain shrapnel and weathering damage from the past, and almost everywhere the history of the building is clearly displayed. Sections of plasterwork were not painted, so they remain visibly distinct from the original areas.

View of the partially restored Ionic Stoa which was built in 50 AD by Tiberius Claudius Sophanes. The Ionic Stoa originally had thirty five Ionic columns in front and nineteen shops at the rear. The road in front of it was the spectacular and processional 100 metre long sacred way which was built in the Roman period and connected the Harbour Gate and the Lions Harbour. The back of the Stoa shops were bounded by the Hellenistic gymnasium and the Vergilius Capito Baths.

The Ionic Temple at Rievaulx Terrace, built at the northern end of the terrace in the 1750s, believed to have been designed by Sir Thomas Robinson, based on the Maison Carree, in Nimes.
The interior was used as a dining room and is elaborately decorated, with a frescoed ceiling with mytholgical scenes.
Rievaulx Terrace forms a natural viewing platform above the Ryedale Valley, home to Rievaulx Abbey. The potential for the hillside to be used as a terrace was spotted by Thomas Duncombe II in the mid-18th century.
He commissioned a landscaper to compose the terrace between 1749 and 1757, with temples at either end and views, down through gaps cut in the trees, of the abbey.
There are two temples on the terrace, the Tuscan Temple and the Ionic Temple, the latter of which served as a kitchen and dining room for guests of the Duncombe family who came to visit.
The National Trust now look after the terrace and the temples, giving visitors the chance to experience the site as others did centuries ago.

These are Ionic Columns that are apart of the main structure of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They are very detailed from the bottom to the top. I think they also show a sort of irony because they look so delicate, yet they are meant to be long-lasting and tough. Subconsciously you think that if the columns were not there the entire structure would just collapse, making there strength that more apparent.
Capital of the twelfth century south door at Corley church, a kind of Norman interpretation of the Ionic style!
The largely twelfth century church at Corley, north west of Coventry, has no specific dedication (although there seems to be some evidence to suggest it was once dedicated to St Mary)
The building has been quite heavily restored, but appears to retain much of interest, including Norman south doorway and intriguing carved heads on the windows of the elegant fourteenth century chancel. There is no tower, just a simple weatherboarded pyramid sprouting from the east end of the nave roof.
I arrived here approaching 5pm, and seemed to have been just in time for the church to be locked up (as at Exhall where I was fortunate to bump into the kindly keyholder). The church is normally kept locked and only open for services or by arrangement, so catching it on Heritage Open day would have been alot easier!
A lady was leaving the churchyard as I was taking these shots with what looked like keys in her hand, I called to her but she didn't seem to hear (or perhaps had had enough and didn't want to!) and drove off. Despite having this and three other churches on my way home, I clearly wasn't getting inside any more!

From Wikipedia: The Ionic order came from eastern Greece, where its origins are entwined with the similar but little known Aeolic order. It is distinguished by slender, fluted pillars with a large base and two opposed volutes (also called scrolls) in the echinus of the capital. The echinus itself is decorated with an egg-and-dart motif. The Ionic shaft comes with four more flutes than the Doric counterpart (totalling 24). The Ionic base has two convex moldings called tori which are separated by a scotia.
The Ionic order is also marked by an entasis, a curved tapering in the column shaft. A column of the ionic order is nine times its lower diameter. The shaft itself is eight diameters high. The architrave of the entablature commonly consists of three stepped bands (fasciae). The frieze comes without the Doric triglyph and metope. The frieze sometimes comes with a continuous ornament such as carved figures instead.

Dodona (Doric Greek: Δωδώνᾱ, Dōdṓnā, Ionic and Attic Greek: Δωδώνη,[1] Dōdṓnē) in Epirus in northwestern Greece was an oracle devoted to a Mother Goddess identified at other sites with Rhea or Gaia, but here called Dione, who was joined and partly supplanted in historical times by the Greek deity Zeus.
The shrine of Dodona was regarded as the oldest Hellenic oracle, possibly dating to the second millennium BCE according to Herodotus. Situated in a remote region away from the main Greek poleis, it was considered second only to the oracle of Delphi in prestige. Priestesses and priests in the sacred grove interpreted the rustling of the oak (or beech) leaves to determine the correct actions to be taken. According to a new interpretation, the oracular sound originated from bronze objects hanging from oak branches and sounded with the wind blowing, similar to a wind chime.[2] Aristotle considered the region around Dodona to have been part of Hellas and the region where the Hellenes originated.[3] The oracle was first under the control of the Thesprotians before it passed into the hands of the Molossians.[4] It remained an important religious sanctuary until the rise of Christianity during the Late Roman era.
Location: Dodoni, Ioannina, Epirus, Greece
