The OP sticking in valign="top" is simpler, but lets not quarrel
Jonathan...

I took a look at your actual mark up because I tend to learn
things (for myself) from your efforts and one of the first things
I noticed when I stuck a pic into each div (the columns) was a
scroll bar at the bottom of each col when the window was narrowed
to be unable to display the pics at full width in Safari. The
result of your overflow.

I am not saying this is good or bad. I am saying it is the sort
of thing that is disconcerting to a newcomer, who would need to
then - maybe - want to "fix" this. And then there is IE and float
drops ... I have no PC on to look....

What could be simpler, said you all innocently :)
