Description
I took this photo from the ancient city of Pompeii in Italy.
It was eerie -- looking at that giant, dark, brooding volcano while standing on the very streets that it once destroyed some 2000 years ago.

Yes . . . ! A magnificent View of the Mountain . . . ! An excellent and mystical Perspective . . . ! "Vote . . . !"

Nice framing between the trees. And with the single tree and the volcano behind, it really gives you a sense of serene forboding... if that makes any sense...

I saw this as a background to a piece that moved me, done by Minuano. I wholeheartedly agree, this photo is hauntingly beautiful..What time of day was it taken?
