Bay-sically Perfect: Vesuvius Views Over Naples Gulf

Perched high on Vesuvius's slopes, looking southwest across the sprawling Bay of Naples toward Sorrento and Capri - this is why people have been settling here despite living next to a geological time bomb. The RX100M7 at 24mm wide angle captured the full sweep from the foreground Mediterranean scrubland down to Naples spreading along the coastline, with those iconic peninsulas stretching into the azure gulf. That perfect blue gradient from sea to sky makes you understand why this region inspired countless postcards. The spring vegetation adds vibrant greens and pinks to contrast against all that endless blue water, creating a scene that's almost criminally picturesque.
