#OnThisDay Mt #Vesuvius erupted (79AD) - that led to the burying and destruction of the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, as well as several other settlements killing 15000 people.

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits was taken in the archaeological museum of Naples, and shows a fresco from the Villa Boscoreale.

Random photo from the #travel archive. We're fond of #volcanoes and loved this view we had of #Vesuvius near #Naples in #Italy when we visited in 2016.

Read texts on this scroll and win a total of $1,000,000.
The catch: You cannot unroll it. And it has been burned. 2000 years ago.
Using X-ray and such, one can ”read” scrolls without opening them. This has been done. To turn those readings into actual text, is another matter. That's why the challenge was posed. The hope is that creative and clever people will find a way, using AI or whatever it takes

So far, so good. I just walked in to the ticket office and bought a ticket to the first bus up to #Vesuvius 🌋 The benefits of #travel in low season although the #tourist prices are always high. €4 for #espresso ☕️ and #croissant 🥐 “Al banco”. I shudder at the thought of what prices they charge “al tavolo” 💸💸

I've been to the crater rim of Mount #Vesuvius, watched Mount #Etna erupting at night while sailing between the #Scylla and #Charybdis, stood at the base of a cloud-shrouded #Arenal, and driven into and walked around inside of La #Soufrière, so I'm not 100% risk averse.
But allowing civilians to visit a #volcano that erupted twice in the six previous years is criminal negligence.

"The Eruption of Mt. Vesuvius," Pierre-Jacques Volaire, 1777.
DRAMA! This painting has it in spades. The erupting volcano, the people fleeing in panic, the fires illuminating the sky....but yet the sea is serene and the moon peeps from behind a cloud. Juxtaposition of nature!
