falling and fallen civilizations






While Wall Street was crumbling, 
we thought to visit some other fallen civilizations 
and see how they've been (pardon the pun)
holding up: 
actually, impressively nicely - what's left of them, anyway.
We were in Pompei and Poseidonia/Paestum - Greek temples in Italy dating from 500 BC. Here are some Fotos of what's left of Vesuvius and Pompei.
