Sedimentary, My Dear Watson: Ancient Flows Fossilized

Here's where things get geologically nerdy - these stratified rock formations in 'Inferno Valley' are basically Vesuvius' ancient diary entries, written in hardened magma flows. Each layer tells a different volcanic story, weathered and carved by millennia into this natural amphitheater of stone. The hardy Mediterranean scrub doesn't care about reading the geological timeline - it just sees prime real estate for root systems. Those distant blue mountains remind you this whole region is basically one giant volcanic playground. RX100M7 at 24mm wide captured these sedimentary layers perfectly, though no camera setting can quite convey the sheer age of what you're looking at.
