Pompei, a photo from Naples, Campania

Photographer's Note

Romans took control of Pompeii around 200 BC. On August 24, 79 AD, Vesuvius erupted, burying the nearby town of Pompeii in ash and soot, killing 20,000 people, and preserving the city in its state from that fateful day. Pompeii is an excavation (It: scavi) site and outdoor museum of the ancient Roman settlement. This site is considered to be one of the few sites where an ancient city has been preserved in detail - everything from jars and tables to paintings and people was frozen in time, yielding, together with neighbouring Herculaneum which suffered the same fate, an unprecedented opportunity to see how the people lived two thousand years ago.

Hello Daniel,
A nice, low but long perspective of a street in Pompeii. We see some ancient buildings in the distance, but the street as such and the fallen leaves are the real subjects of this photo. The fine colours and good exposure also make this a nice photo.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Daniel
The long low shot gives this added drama. The brooding sky also makes it dramatic.

Ciao Daniel,a beautiful perspective but above all a photo that in normal times would never have been possible to take because of the always numerous tourists, you had a nice advantage visiting Pompeii during the pandemic crisis, a spectacular photo that also preserves the sadness of those moments ... Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hi Daniel
This is amazing - Pompeii without a tourist in sight. One of the few quiet corners down near the back entrance? A good photo showing some good remains.
cheers
Ian

Hi Daniel
Extremely dynamic pic with your choice of ultra low angle and dof all lead to the main subject of interest beyond. Lovely sense of extreme depth and long perspective effect in this well executed shot.
Best regards

Hello Daniel,
A remarkable and very good low point of view.
The fallen leaves play an important role in this beautiful picture.

Hello Daniel, Strange that the street in Pompeii is empty, without any tourists. Nice ruins along the street, I like the fallen leaves on the big stones very much excellent perspective.

Best regards MAlgo

An original take on the old site.
Well spotted, well captured.
Thanks for sharing, Daniel.
