Plane and Simple: Valley Views from Vesuvius Heights

From Vesuvius's slopes, gazing east across the hazy plains toward Naples - a vista that's simultaneously breathtaking and slightly apocalyptic. The RX100M7 at 200mm compressed these layered mountain ridges beautifully, creating that dreamy atmospheric perspective where each range fades into softer blue tones. Those eastern flatlands stretch endlessly below, a patchwork of agriculture and civilization that somehow survived being neighbors with one of history's most famous geological troublemakers. The morning haze adds an almost ethereal quality to the scene, though I suspect it's just Mediterranean humidity doing its thing rather than any romantic filter.
