Oh, lucky you! Pompeii is a lifelong fascination of mine, too! I can't even count the number of books I've read, documentaries I've devoured, and (usually not-so-great) Hollywood films I've watched on the subject. Lois, sometimes you really do seem like my sister from another mother! :-) Your 'Main Street, Pompeii' is beautiful, dark, sorrowful, and too-silent. All things I've felt about Pompeii. I'll admit to being jealous of your visit to one of my bucket list destinations. Thanks for sharing your story, and such beautiful art!

Lois Bryan replied:

Dearest Wendy ... thank you so so much for "getting" what I was feeling when I put this thing together. I have another version with a gorgeous blue sky of course ... no surprise, I'm sure, knowing me ... but the more I fiddled around with this thing, the more I was "feeling" ... and there weren't any blue skies in that particular head-space. I know you know what I'm talking about. Thank you for understanding!!! If you have to hitch a ride on a slow boat to Naples, do NOT deny yourself the trip to Pompeii and Herculaneum. We were on a cruise specifically targeting ancient areas in the Mediterranean. Let me tell you ... I was like a little kid on Christmas morning. I don't know why they didn't toss me off the boat. You MUST go. Don't wait. Go NOW!!!!!

A most fascinating and telling master digital / photo artwork. It speak of the power of nature and also how easily a whole city and its history can be totally forgotten. :-)

Very intriguing artwork, Lois! The black sky I feel adds a symbolic element to the essence of this place in history. L/F pin

Shooting b&w 120 roll film in a borrowed old 1940s Kodak bellows camera at age 13 in Pompei on a school trip got me hooked on Photography for life! This is great and makes me want to revisit the place again!

Lois Bryan replied:

Oh Chris ... fabulous experience, I'm sure!!!! How cool!!! And look at you now!!! You have to go back ... and visit Herculaneum, too ... these were some of the most exciting experiences of my life ... I'd love to go back, too!

I am also fascinated with Pompeii! I haven't been there, but have seen a lot of photos of it, incredible! So glad you got to see it! Beautiful image! It captures the mood of the city! l/f

Lois Bryan replied:

Liesl, thank you and glad you enjoyed my interpretation!!!!! I hope you get a chance to visit there some day ... also, remember there's another city that was covered at the same time, Herculaneum ... which not far away and is also available for visits. Both ... just so amazing!!!!

I got an earie feeling looking at this artistic image. It gave me a feeling of being there! Awesome, maybe I was in another life! l/f

Lois Bryan replied:

Dee that's awesome. It's an eerie place. I don't care how blue the sky is, how warm the sun, how many tourists surround you (and there were zillions of other people all around) ... there is a feeling that is impossible to describe. I can't believe my eyes didn't pop right out of my little head that day.
