Yes, a good question Skip and Steve! I am not sure what it is. I use an 
averaged texture for the columns and I think that partly it is texture what 
you see. But only partly. I suspect them to be mostly artifacts because the 
texture without any radiosity or fancy adds looks much smoother, especially 
at the middle distance.

Thank you Steve! I thought so too. I always try to put radiosity in because 
the look becomes more natural. However, the render times and the tuning of 
it is really arduous in my experience.
