All my creative pursuits.
Fire and ash from miles away
Buried the city of Pompeii
Choked of breath
The throes of death
The victims lie preserved to this day
I had the chance to see Pompeii in 2009. Here are a couple photos:

Wall paintings, remarkably preserved. The one on the top left is from the wall of a brothel. Notice the fair skin of the prostitute, compared to the darker skin of her client, who spent his time out in the sun!
Every Thursday, Jacqueline from a cooking pot and twisted tales challenges us to post photos of our neighborhood. I decided to share some this week.
I’ve had my head in research on The Great War for the past couple weeks and frankly, it’s bumming me out. For a change, I thought I’d share some photos of a trip to the American Southwest.

The roads look like this! Ahem, let’s just say, we traveled in excess of the speed limit!
Here’s more Grand Canyon:
In the painted desert, we visited an ancient Native American settlement:
See the circular enclosure in the center the photo below? Apparently Ancient Americans played some sort of ball game in this court! Sports, it seems, is timeless!
Happy Thursday everyone!
