Just a bunch of photos of a pillar. This is a pillar from back when pillars meant something more than a means to keep the space between the roof and the floor consistent with human passage, when human ingenuity and available funds allowed a degree of intellectual dwelling on the task. Don’t know who the man or woman is responsible, or who the masons and polishers were. And maybe that would be too much detail anyway.

It’s a turtle at the bottom. Not all the way down, just at the bottom. I have contrasted it as the textures and lines are quite unique. You can look at a bit of wood and see its colour, or its grain, or the smoothness or roughness of its surface. As a spectator you have to choose your battles - which of the many areas of information you care to concentrate on or which your experiences have decided are worthwhile to you. A photo can either leave the choices completely(?) up to the viewer or give them a nudge. This is nudging. Without colour we go into a different mode looking at a scene.

I probably adjusted the upper thickness so that it wasn’t as thin as the perspective of the scene insisted on.
