[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
With Vesuvius brooding on the horizon any visit to the Bay of Naples area should include a visit to Herculaneum. It is unjustly less famous than its bigger brother Pompeii as the state of preservation of the buildings are generally much superior. It was lost to sight during the same series of eruptions that destroyed Pompeii but was possibly destroyed by a pyroclastic flow* as much of the timber has survived in a charred condition giving a much better idea of what a Roman town may have looked like.

Hi Faramarz

I found this place fascinating. You got a real sense of what it was like to live in that place. Nicely composed. It is just as I remembered it
