Description
One of a series of creative edits to these five freestanding columns found in the old downtown section of Sikeston, Mo. This one has been given a cosmic/night sky effect. Wonderful for your home of perhaps a greeting card. Many more wonderful works can be found in my various galleries, form photographs and photoart to digital creations and abstracts. Thanks for browsing, commenting and most of all for any purchases.

The term column applies especially to a large round support with a capital and base[1] and made of stone, or appearing to be so. A small wood-en or metal support is typically called a post, and supports with a rectangular or other non-round section are usually called piers. For the purpose of wind or earthquake engineering, columns may be designed to resist lateral forces. Other compression members are often termed "columns" be-cause of the similar stress conditions. Columns are frequently used to support beams or arches on which the upper parts of walls or ceilings rest. In architecture, "column" refers to such a structural element that also has certain proportional and decorative features. A column might also be a decorative element not needed for structural purposes; many columns are "engaged", that is to say form part of a wall.)
