Again I hesitated to post because of image quality but the depth of volcanic coverage can be gauged by this shot. The foreground buildings stand beneath a cliff face on which the site roadway runs, that cliff being the measure of how much debris fell onto this site.

This is one of my favourite picnic spots or place for a quiet read.

Seriously, this is another great picture Pertinax. If you think this is bad you should see my pictures, absolutely TERRIBLE.

 

I think you captured a difficult picture well. Where is this?

This is the site of Herculaneum the up market coastal resort town destroyed at the same time as Pompeii in AD 79 , and about 15 minutes away by train. The excavation is a huge hole in the ground at the foot of the modern suburban dwellings of Naples.
