18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Halloween in Pompeii
It was the night of Halloween. The ruins were open to the public that night. The ruins of Pompeii are my favorite Museum. I like to come here during the day for inspiration. This land is steeped in history, horror, and real art. But, I must say, after sunset, the ruins appear to visitors completely different. They seem more mystical. In the photo, I photographed a statue of a man who was swallowed up by the lava of Vesuvius. It's like he's praying and asking the Gods for help. These were the last moments of his life.
