Columns are built in different sizes and found in many places.
Not only they sustain the weight of a structure, they are also decorated with exquisite details.
I have seen some beautiful columns around the world and right here at home. Since it’s this week’s Frifotos theme, I thought of sharing them with you 🙂
Boston
Quincy Market
Barcelona
Plaça d’Espanya

Love your pictures! My favorite one is the cathedral in Montreal. Gorgeous! While I love old architecture pics as well, I am taking another route. The columns of Alaska’s Native Americans, the Tlingits…you know, totem poles! http://happyhoyt.blogspot.com/2012/05/alaskan-cruise-ketchikans-saxman-native.html
Yes the pic in Montreal surprised me too Sonja! It’s right here at home 😉
It is the replica of the columns at St Peter’s Basilica in Rome!
I just sat there in wonder…it truly is gorgeous!
Thank you for your link. How beautiful that experience with the native people!
♥ Totems too. The man who carves them must have plenty of stories to tell!
Thank you for sharing xo K
Such beautiful shots darling!
Thank you bella!
I had fun taking them in different cities 😉
I like the variety…hard to say which one is my favorite, but I think the one from Montreal is so unique!
Thank you Cathy!
Yes the columns at the Cathedral are spectacular! Great details and it is a feast for the eyes.
Thank you for stopping by 😉

They are some beautiful choices. I do love the ones at Petra, they are fabulous and clearly from their original stone.
Thank you! I dream of visiting Jordan and Petra!
They’re definitely in my Bucketlist.
Thank you for your visit 😉
