WPC: Beyond
This week’s Photo Challenge is Beyond
The narrow cobblestones roads took us back to two thousand years ago, enabling us to have a glimpse of people’s life style before the eruption of 79 AD.
The city had more than 40 bakeries, an amphitheater theatre, elegant homes, brothels and bathhouses, and 130 bars, restaurants, and hotels for 20,000 residents. It also had been a resort for Rome’s distinguished citizens. That is beyond my imagination.
Notes:
- Greeks settled in the area in the 8th Century BC.
- Pompeii was rediscovered in the 1600s and excavations began in 1748.

Thanks for the memory nudge, Amy. It makes me look back and think, imagine again on how it was back then and how it reflects now with these ruins in Italy.

Both photos are great. My favorite is the last one, because it gives very much to man’s imagination to think: what there is to be seen on the top.
January 20, 2013 at 5:40 am

My kind of town–all those bakeries. And there is something soothing about cobblestones.
January 23, 2013 at 1:16 pm
They ate well! Cobblestones were well preserved there. Happy to see you, Alice!
January 23, 2013 at 5:22 pm
Those cobblestone road are amazing. You hardly see that anymore. It just takes you back to a past where everything seems possible and life much simplier. Beautiful post my friend.
January 24, 2013 at 6:20 am
Gorgeous. I’m ready to go back. I’ve only been there once, and that wasn’t with my Italian husband!!!
January 24, 2013 at 4:26 pm
I love the angles of both photos. It truly made me wonder what was “beyond” the bend in the first one and what lied further ahead on the second one. Your posts are great Amy!
January 26, 2013 at 10:47 am
It is an amazing history… I agree.
