Infinite Column

You are standing in a wide-open space. The wind is howling. In the middle you see a strange object. From a distance, it looks like a thin needle sticking up into the sky. You get closer and realize that it consists of rhombus-shaped components placed one on top of the other, higher and higher. You lift your head and see it disappear into infinity. It’s the infinite column. It has a beginning, but no ending.
