Hi everyone, Would you like to participate in the Weekly Photo Challenge? Just take a photo that is your interpretation of the theme and post it in this thread. The rules are rather simple.
- Your photo(s) should be your own, i.e., they should not have been taken by someone else.
- Photoshopping is allowed but should be kept to the basics only rather than a total transformation.
- Grab your camera, experiment, and, most of all, have fun. |

No shortage of columns around here with many houses dating back to the 1890's - here are a couple of houses of that vintage with well preserved columns:   Tony |

Architectural columns can also be structural columns as the previous photos have show. One (being me) might argue that these structural columns are aesthetically pleasing, ergo, they are architectural. There is a lack of old architectural columns on our part of the world. High Level Bridge, Lethbridge Alberta, opened in 1909. The Lethbridge Viaduct, commonly known as the High Level Bridge, is a railway trestle bridge over the Oldman River in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. Constructed between 1907 and 1909 by the Canadian Pacific Railway, it is the largest railway structure in Canada and the largest of its type in the world, and is still regularly maintained and used over a century since its construction.

This replicated cast iron arcade at the New Market Theater buffers a parking lot while extending the street walk.  Thanks for the theme Sepiana! |

A quick shot from the balcony Helen, it's a pity you couldn't get closer to capture the details of these columns. |

Plenty of columns in Greenwich, which I visited today. Matthew Matthew, glad you did! Greenwich is famous for its architectural masterpieces. Your three images do justice to the beauty of these columns. |

Clive, I'm no expert at architecture; I can't argue here. They are columns. |

With my little eye I spy? i.ibb.co/71Zs7X8/Column-1.jpgHelen is always wowing us with photos from her balcony. Well, my view is nowhere near as nice. But, I can see a column from my deck! It's one of several on the Portage Park Elementary School just across the street. Just could not resist. cjt |
