| There are a lot of arches used in WFO's. These shots are of a couple of masonry arches being built. Amazing how rough they are initially vs the final finish! and another cool arch as well.

| I think an islamic style oven would be way cool. You could have the big dome in the center: ![]() You could have moorish arches on each side, and you could even have a faux minaret in the back for mood lighting. |

| Absolutely not....they are structural...holding up a tile roof! The arch is incredibly strong and spreads the weight to the columns....the last pic is from the Alhambra...built by the Moors long before Columbus sailed in 1492!

| Quite a view from up there, though! I had a chance to visit the Pont du Garde about 15 years ago, and it was quite amazing. Definitely worth a trip if you're ever in that part of France! I figure if that thing is still standing, my piddling little WFO ought to last at least a few years. |

| A link from the pont du gard site: Compagnons du Tour de France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A group of itinerant craftspersons for the purpose of education. Sounds great. |
