| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
This is my husband, Lars Wiegert, on top of the head crater of Vesuvius. It is not a very high volcano, but impressive enough, as it is very dangerous. Nobody knows when it will explode again, only that it for sure will.
20 minutes walk after having left the parking place at Monte Somma, you are here, looking down to the big caldera, which once destroyed Pompei and Herculaneum.
You need not stand on your toes to see how small humanity is, and how overwhelming nature is. And I ask myself how anybody can call another creature in the world for a "nothing"? |
