Pompeii, Two Pictures

Plaster cast, victim of the Mount Vesuvius eruption in 79 A.D., in the city of Pompeii. (October 2010)

And here was my favorite spot, as seen previously on the photoblog:

Villa dei Misteri, or Villa of the Mysteries, is a well preserved Roman villa on the outskirts of Pompeii buried for centuries in ash. (October 2010)
