Climbing Wall at Scioto Audobon Metro Park viewed from watertower viewing area. To climb a person needs bring a harness, come with someone who has a harness, or ask to use someone's harness. Self belaying is setup so that a person can climb without bringing ropes. A person can also come with someone else, with rope, and have them belay them on the courses that do not have self belaying setup. #rockclimbing
A sunset scene of the snow covered trees along this inlet of the Scioto River. In the warmer months, looking down from this observation platform rewards park visitors with a view teeming with an array of native turtle species sunning themselves on the natural flotsam and jetsam of fallen tree branches.
An insect taking refuge in the petals of a pale blue iris, Scioto Audubon Metro Park, located along the banks of the Scioto River just south of downtown Columbus, is a 120-acre oasis created from an industrial area that contained the former police impound lot. #hiking

The second oldest building remaining on The Ohio State University campus, Orton Hall was opened in 1893. It is named after Dr Edward Orton, Sr. who served as Ohio State's first president, OSU Professor of Geology from 1873 to 1899, and Ohio's State Geologist from 1882 until his death in 1899. Orton Hall is built of 40 different Ohio building stones. In the outside walls, these stones are laid in stratigraphic order according to their relative positions in Ohio's bedrock. The only non-indigenous to Ohio stone used is Indiana Limestone to build the front steps. It was chosen because of its high concentration of embedded fossils. The bell tower was dedicated in 1915 and contains 25,000 pounds of bells that can be heard regularly tolling across campus. Encircling the top of the tower are 24 columns with gargoyle-like figures which are restorations of fossil animals.

Uptown District
This arch is all that remains of Columbus Grand Union Station, the city's third and final train station. Built in 1897 and designed by Daniel H. Burnham and Company of Chicago, the train station was located in the current footprint of the Greater Columbus Convention Center. On October 22, 1976, demolition began despite having been listed on the National Register of Historic Places two years earlier. A restraining order federal judge George Smith halted demolition, but it was too late and only one arch of the ornate structure was saved. In 1999, the arch in its entirety was slowing inched over several blocks to its current location at Dimon McPherson Commons in the Arena District. #architecture
