AD 79, August 24 and only 17 years removed from a major earthquake, the city of Pompeii was buried under the volcanic ash from Mt Vesuvius. As the super heated air engulfed the city and a glowing cloud of volcanic ash and debris rolled down the slopes of Vesuvius, the buildings and it's inhabitants were quickly buried and thus preserved in detail for hundreds of years. What remains today is a fascinating journey back in time making it a wonderful place for black and white photography.
