Isle Be Seeing You: Capri Dreams from Vesuvius Vista

Distant view of Capri island silhouetted against blue sky across Gulf of Naples waters, photographed from Mount Vesuvius, Italy

Zooming way out to 119mm from Vesuvius, the RX100M7 managed to snag distant Capri floating like a blue mirage across the Gulf of Naples. This telephoto compression turned the famous island into an almost ethereal silhouette, all soft edges and atmospheric haze. After spending the morning hiking around the volcano's colorful wildflower trails, pointing the lens seaward felt like discovering a completely different world - one where limestone cliffs rise from endless blue water instead of pink blooms carpeting lava soil. That dreamy monochromatic palette makes Capri look more like a watercolor painting than actual real estate, proving sometimes the best travel photos happen when you can barely make out your subject.
