Vesuvius Crater: A Lava-ly View from the Edge

Deep volcanic crater of Mount Vesuvius showing steep rocky walls with visible geological layers and sparse green vegetation on crater floor, Naples, Italy

Peering into the infamous crater of Mount Vesuvius - you know, the volcano that gave Pompeii its ultimate bad day back in 79 AD. The layered volcanic rock tells quite the geological story, while sparse vegetation bravely colonizes the slopes. Shot with the trusty RX100M7 at f/4, because sometimes you need that reliable pocket rocket when hiking up active volcanoes. The stratified walls reveal centuries of explosive episodes, making this one seriously hardcore geology lesson.
