Four years ago we were in Italy and had the opportunity to visit Pompeii. Thursday we were back in Naples and decided to visit the ancient excavated city of Herculaneum, a seaside resort area which was also buried by Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD. Herculaneum was covered by a flood of hot mud, which buried, sealed, and protected the buildings.
PS I snapped so many photos of the crumbling and decaying walls - some of them looked like completed abstract paintings. I'm compiling a wonderful photographic resource for creating paintings and textures when I get home.
