This is a companion photo to another one on TE (The Remains of the Day).
Just before sunset, I took a walk to the other side of the small island to enjoy the view of the Gulf of Naples setting down to sleep.
On the background, the Vesuvius volcano stands like a guardian. It may have lost its feather of smoke (the last eruption was in 1945), but it stays as an impressive reminder of nature's power, now also enjoying a moment of laziness.
All Neapolitans hope that this laziness will last forever, since no one has ever forgotten the Vesuvuis' destructive power on Pompei and Herculaneum.
But on that moment, destruction was the last thing I was thinking about. All that mattered was the beauty of the scene and the silence.
PE: sharpened in NeatImage. Cropped in PS7.
