Images

There are three different ways to navigate the various images :

The first way is to browse the list of descriptions located below on this page and jump directly to any that sound like they may interest you. You can then click the "back" button on your browser or hit the "IMAGES" button on the top menu to get back to this page and find the next one you would like to view.

The second way you can find what you are looking for is to visit the graphical index of thumbnails for the images, and find the ones that look interesting and click directly on those thumbnails to go to the images. You will need to click the "THUMBNAILS" button on your browser to get back to the graphical index. (WARNING - The graphical index contains 15 thumbnails, if you are on a slow server it may take a while for you to get the entire page downloaded.)

The third method involves clicking on the right or left arrow located at the bottom of each page (located under this paragraph on this particular page) to be taken full circle through each successive image and page. You may start in either direction, each arrow will lead to the image directly before or behind the one you are currently viewing, eventually bringing you back to this page.

Once you have found an image that you would like to see even closer, simply click on the image and a large .jpg will be downloaded for you.

Enjoy!

BROWSE THE IMAGES BY DESCRIPTION

  • The Archway - This distant shot of a beautifully crafted and decorated arched room shows a sea-going design.
      

  • The Wine Bar - I believe (if I remember correctly) that these large stone tables were at the center bar of this saloon of sorts.
        

  • The Bird Bath - This bath may have been used for washing hands or even taking a sip of water - or it may have just been a bird bath.
     

  • Torso Of a Statue - A close-up profile of one of the many Roman statues still standing in the halls of Pompeii.
     

  • A Grassy Park - A small bench sits off to the site of this little overgrown park - a brief respite from the cobble stone and stucco.
     

  • Fern Tree and a Pot - A snapshot of what this little bit of this sidewalk may have looked like in the days before the eruption which covered the city in ash.
     

  • A Cornbread Oven - One of many left standing in the little bakery we stopped in and visited. Our guide explained how the meal was ground and baked into bread.
     

  • Passageway - A short and simple hallway.
     

  • The Inscription - At the base of one of the many statues standing in the city. If anyone can read it and translate it into English I would be happy to post exactly what it means.
     

  • A Large Structure - A wide shot of a large building on the outskirts of town.
     

  • Another Structure - In the other direction.
     

  • The Statue - A complete statue standing in the courtyard of this building. Notice the large stone column standing behind it.
     

  • Street Scene - A shot down on of the main cobble stone streets in the ancient city of Pompeii - shops and homes line both sides.
     

  •  Mosaic Tile Design - Up close the incredible design appears to be a group of 3-dimensional boxes - but in reality is a flat floor.
     

  • The Large Wall and Tree - This wall circles the front, or opening of the city as we approached it from our tour buses. The tree on top is actually on a hill behind the wall.
