Description
In Pompeii, no matter how busy, you can find a glimpse of solitude and peace through gaps in buildings, old doorways or a window onto the past. There are many poppies in Pompeii which seems, somehow, fitting.Related content

I was there long ago, in the former century actually 
In this photo I like the way in whichΒ walls, hmm I don't know how to put it in English properly, the ruins seem to form kind of "layers" in the
picture which leadΒ the viewer'sΒ sight into the place.Β
That's why I commented this one, whileΒ I also enjoyed the landscapes of Scotland and Iceland.Β

So beautiful.... The soul lives on, the body dies. The mansions and palaces, the buildings become ruins. But the Β story lives on ...

The whole place is magical. About a third of it has not even been excavated yet
There is so much more to come that nobody has seen yet

Pompeii has many areas of peace/contemplation I think. What a lovely spot!

It does if you can keep away from the big guided tours
