Volcanic Ash-phalt: Vesuvius Descent Route

The trek down from Vesuvius reveals nature's version of concrete - volcanic ash and pumice creating this alien moonscape. Each footstep kicks up centuries-old particles from eruptions past, while hardy plants somehow find purchase in this mineral wasteland. The RX100M7 handled the harsh lighting at f/4, 1/1000s, capturing the gritty texture of this pyroclastic playground. Walking down feels like traversing another planet, except this planet occasionally explodes and rearranges the neighborhood.
