Pompeii by michailchristodoulopoulos by michailchristodoulopoulos

Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples, in the Campania region of Italy, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79.

The ruins of Pompeii are located near the modern suburban town of Pompei (nowadays written with one ‘i’). It stands on a spur formed by a lava flow to the north of the mouth of the Sarno River (known in ancient times as the Sarnus).

Today it is some distance inland, but in ancient times was nearer to the coast. Pompeii is about 8 km (5.0 mi) away from Mount Vesuvius. It covered a total of 64 to 67 hectares (170 acres) and was home to approximately 11,000 to 11,500 people on the basis of household counts.[4] It was a major city in the region of Campania.

Cloaked Cook by EdwinMartinez by EdwinMartinez

As the sun begins to rise, the clouds started to cloak Mount Cook, I was lucky to get this shot as the clouds opened up just as Mount Cook lighted up. This was taken in Tasman Lake, a proglacial lake.

The Bend by TheBlurredLens by TheBlurredLens

Being from Texas, yeahawwww, I am always biased toward thinking the hill country is one of the most beautiful places God ever created. After spending the last few years out here in Arizona, I think number 48 can give us a run for our money. It’s really hard to beat the sunsets and all the wonderful mountains in this part of the country.
I had a chance to go spend sometime wondering around the Grand Canyon and I decided to stop by Horseshoe Bend. For those who don’t know, Horseshoe Bend is part of the canyon where the Colorado River makes a perfect bend and you are able to walk up to the edge. Keep in mind, the edge is a 1,000 foot drop straight down. Not for the faint of heart.
When I got to the bend, I was amazed at the number of people who were here. There were literately hundreds of people wondering around the edge of the canyon. If I had a dollar for every person with a selfie stick, I would give Donald Trump a run for net worth. Seeing all these people climbing around and taking pictures made me wonder what this place was like before the invention of FaceBook or Instagram. Do more people visit national parks now just for the sake of taking a selfie and putting it online?
As I sat in my little spot on the edge of the canyon waiting on sunset, I took some time to look around and observe the people around me. Guess it has to do with my sociology background. I think more people were looking at their phones than at the canyon. I heard one girl behind me say to her friends, “I don’t want to wait another 20 minutes for sunset. I am just going to walk back to the car and get on my phone. I can just look at FaceBook to see what sunset looks like”. I was amazed when I heard this. Here is one of natures most beautiful places and she would rather just look at it on FaceBook.
Maybe in 20 years people will stop visiting places like this and just stick to looking at them on FaceBook or whatever the next big social media platform is, my bets on MySpace making a comeback, you hear me Tom, bring back MySpace!
