Wordless Wednesday - Pompeii

 Last week I published a photo of one of the arches in Pompeii. Zinaida   and Natasha both said they would like to see more photos if I have them. I have sorted the best of them and will publish them over two or three weeks. I try not to get too many people in my photos, but somewhere like Pompeii is very difficult not to.











The next photos may appear gruesome but they are casts of some of the petrified bodies that were found during excavations. It was found that when the bodies decomposed a void was left in the volcanic material. Plaster was poured in so the casts are in fact a mixture of bone and plaster.

You can read more about it here.





It is hard to think they were all living almost 2000 years ago and their lives were snuffed out in an instant.

Wordless Wednesday - Mural.


 One of the murals on the Mural Trail, Invergordon, Scotland. I was so lucky to get this photo. When we later walked back down the road to the ship, the car had gone!
