More pics from Pompeii and Sorrento

Pictures from Pompeii and Sorrento
Pompeii Cast--Obviously a final posture of prayer.

Inside the Public Baths in Pompeii near a font.

Quite well preserved wall frescoes in Pompeii ruins.

A street wide enough for wagons, with ruts, curbs, etc.

Moorings along ancient sea wall. Now, earth, trees, and still Mt. Vesuvius in the background.

Mt. Vesuvius at night from our balcony in Sorrento. (The city lights of Naples and suburbs almost look like lava at the base of the volcano. This is Europe's only active volcano.)

A little break at the lemon grove in downtown Sorrento!

A view to the Adriatic Sea from Sorrento.

Inlaid wood artistry is a traditional, local art form. In one of the churches is this nativity scene--no painting whatsoever!

This bell from St. Anna's Church just outside our apartment chimed every 15 mintues--from 5 a.m. until midnight!
