This is almost exactly the same perspective as the office building in Shanghai – only this one is of an ancient Roman ruin: a pair of Ionic columns at the Temple of Apollo at Didyma, along the Aegean coast of Turkey. These columns were massive, and once I got to the base and looked up, I saw this view that I thought was the only way to capture their incredible size. Looking up at that view, one can only wonder how they built stuff like this in 300 BC.
