Train-ing Day: Valley Views from Vesuvius

The journey down from Vesuvius reveals why millions choose to live in this volcano's shadow - that sprawling urban tapestry below is the Naples metropolitan area, stretching toward distant mountain ranges. A freight train snakes through the middle distance while pink wildflowers add unexpected color to the foreground's volcanic soil. Shot with the RX100M7 at f/5.6, 1/320s - perfect settings for capturing both the intimate botanicals and the vast panorama. The atmospheric haze creates those dreamy blue layers, making you forget you're descending from Europe's most famous geological time bomb.
