Cactus-trophe Zone: Vesuvius Recovery Forest

Years after Vesuvius threw its last major tantrum, nature's reclamation project is in full swing. Those skeletal remains aren't from ancient Pompeii - they're the ghostly aftermath of more recent forest fires on the volcano's slopes. Behind the charred sentinels, new growth pushes through volcanic soil while residential areas dot the safer elevations. The RX100M7 at 200mm compressed this ecological resurrection story into layers - from the spiky foreground survivors to the lush recovery zones beyond. It's fascinating how life adapts to living next to geology's most unpredictable neighbor.
