Description
The Strand
Galveston, Texas
I have a great way to remember which columns are which.
Dor-ic (two syllables) is the simplest, least complicated
I-on-ic (three syllables) is the one in between with the curls
Cor-in-thi-an (four syllables) is the way fancy one, like the one in this picture.
The more syllables the word has, the fancier the top of the column.
:D

Cool way to remember, didn't even know there was a difference
Great capture - thanks for the tip
Glad you captured some of these neat details on The Strand. As I recall I was not in the picture taking mode that day. Your system really works if a person can first remember the names of the three types...:-)
Great archetecure.
Clever system. Hard for me to even imagine the kind of skill it would take to create something as intricate as this one...
Great capture and of course superb work of sculptor! Bravo Tara!
Just be glad you don't have to dust it.
Great memory device and wonderful detail in the image, but I was hoping for something in rich leather. I'll wish you a happy birthday now because I'll probably forget on the 11th. Are we 21 again? Try the mangos in some lassi. Easy to make and very tasty. Like a yogurt shake.
Thanks for that Tara. All these columns and their names mean something in Freemasonry.
wonderful capture... the 3d-feel is stunning
I used to remember by the forms, usually Simplicity V's Complexity. Also the Corinthian has the Acanthus leaves. Excellent capture Tara.
Great angle, well seen and a superb photo resulting.
With a few lines, good composition.
Simple method I've never heard of; wonder if my old brain will remember it? And what a beautifully captured selection you have given us, with perfect lighting and detail! Could be the illustration in a textbook! Stunning compo!
Well, it seems I've learned something new today! And that's in addition to seeing this great shot, Tara! That is an amazing bit of work at the top of that column.
Superb capture Tara. God bless.
What incredible detail on this column---wow!!
