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.

These would have made Chemistry so much more fun! We've seen this lighting material before, and would love to get our hands on some of it. Interesting that it came off so blue in the photograph, it looked much more green in person.
The decorated roof of the Ionic Temple on Rievaulx Terrace.
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.

An adjustment is made to the volutes for the ionic column at the corner.

On Sunday we visited Petworth in the continuing sunshine.
Making our way through the grounds, we first encountered the Ionic Rotunda, an addition suggested by Capability Brown as a focal point amid the trees.

Inside the architectural nightmare that is the new Soldier Field in Chicago are some hidden gems like this giant George Halas mural next to some Ionic columns with a painted field on the floor.
Around the corner is a big mural featuring old program cover art...definitely worth looking for next time you find yourself at a Bears game.
The temple is dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena. The Parthenon, an octostyle, Doric temple with Ionic architectural features, housed the chryselephantine statue of Athena Parthenos sculpted by Pheidias and dedicated in 439 or 438 BC. The decorative stonework was originally highly coloured.
Jefferson Memorial, along the southern banks of the Tidal Basin, completed in 1943, built under the FDR administration as a public work, one of the last American Public Monuments to be built in the Beaux-Arts tradition and criticized at the time as being of a tired architectural style. While less than a 100 years old, seems timeless
Ickworth has belonged to the Hervey family since the 15th century but the Italianate Georgian building seen today dates to the end of the 18th century when Frederick Augustus Hervey, the 4th Earl of Bristol decided to build a home fit to display his enormous art collection.
Based on the vision of Italian architect Mario Asprucci, he commissioned brothers Francis and Joseph Sandys to create a neoclassical showpiece: the Rotunda. Building began in 1795 but was halted on the 4th Earl’s death in 1803. It stood unfinished for decades, only being completed in 1842 by the 5th Earl (who became the 1st Marquess).
This pilaster is part of the external decoration of the Rotunda.

The Ionic Temple graces the north end of the terrace. The temple was not just picturesque but also practical, serving as a space to rest and dine in. Despite its practical purpose, it's decorated with a splendid fresco depicting mythological scenes and ornate 18th-century furniture.
Taken on a trip to Petworth House and Park on 30th September 2012.

One of the cap-stones ("capital") of a marble column in the Jefferson Memorial. The volutes (scroll looking spirals) are what makes me call it "Ionic", it's a historic architecture thing
