Beau cadrage qui emmène la vision loin devant ! Les couleurs ocrées sont très belles et puis quelle émotion de mettre ses pas dans ceux qui sont passés par là de siècles plus tôt !

B. Thomas from Arlington, Texas, United States

I was amazed that in some places you could see the street stone worn with ruts from the wheels passing over. What a place Pompeii is. Nice shot.

@B. Thomas: Thanks Barbara! Yes, in fact the picture I am posting for tomorrow shows the chariot ruts very clearly. I can only imagine how many passes it took to create them.... ;-)
