Il Fauno. This is a replica. The original lives in the Museo Archeologico in Naples. I went there the next day to see him. :)
|
Watchtower. "'There must be some way out of here..."
|
One of two bachelor brothers who owned this house. The weighing of the winky indicates virility or something. It's only because this was pre-beer bong, methinks. Party boys!
[Edit: Conflicting reports indicate that the house owner, like nearly everyone else in Pompeii at the time, was into celebrating Priapus.] |
Bakery.
|
House of negotiable affections.
|
Hang red light here.
|
Fountain, most likely from the Roman period. It doesn't quite match the surrounding decor.
|
Staircase, as seen from gladiator barracks.
|
Rough sketch of cameo next to one that is further along.
|
Cameos in a display case. Pricey!
|
Deceptively short distance to the sign. Uphill on sand all the way!
|
Beware of falling volcano. Or something.
|
Inside the edge of the crater.
|
Mouth of the crater. The white/yellow portion of the ground on the right is where sulfur comes up through the soil.
|
Me, climbing stairs so I can get to the other side of the rim.
|
Crater from the other side. The low point in the opposite rim is where the first shots were taken.

i like the 'watchtower' photo-the walls and the tree all work together...
