This isn’t the most visually striking photo I’ve ever taken, but I count it among my five-star shots anyway. The mountain you see in the distance is http://journal.swantower.com/Vesuvius, and the foreground is the ruins of the Temple of Apollo in Pompeii. I’ve had a minor obsession with Pompeii since I was ten, so the chance to go there in person was really the opportunity of a lifetime.
