Pompeii: The Lighter Side [Travel Tuesdays]

21 Replies
If you caught last week’s Pompeii post, The Darker Side, today is the continuation post of Pompeii, the Lighter Side.  If you have not heard my personal connection with Pompeii and the area around Naples, make sure to check out last week’s post for Travel Tuesdays.  I really enjoyed Pompeii and took hundreds of photographs.  So it has been hard to pick out the favourites to share with you on the blog.  I just cannot wait to return again with my sons so that they can experience the history left behind. 
Q: Have you ever been to Pompeii?

    I think it’s great how you decided these both sides of Pompeii – such a creative idea and the pictures are beautiful! :)

    Lovely contrast with the ‘darker side’ of Pompeii. Really great!

    Love the two sides of Pompeii and of course some more beautiful photography :) It really inspires me for some more Italian travel soon :)

    Thank you Laura…it was such a great place to photograph, and its awesome to look at a place with two different visions. :) I hope you get to go back to Italy soon! x ps. take me with you 😉

    Glad you loved the contrast Molly. It was nice to follow it up with the lighter side. x

    Thank you for loving this take on it. I felt it was going in a bipolar direction when I began so it was nice to break it up and showcase it this way. x

    Thank you Laura, I hope you get to go. It is so big and so much to see! Make sure you also go to see Herculaneum too.

    ARGH! All of you travelers make me sick (in a good way). Living vicariously through all of you right now – those are some pretty amazing places :-)

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/05022023043718407104 Bonnie Rose

    I love living vicariously through everyone’s posts and blogs too! Its a great (and cheaper) way to travel. Like window shopping. x

    The light there looks so clear. Is it all like that – a mass of ruins?

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/05022023043718407104 Bonnie Rose

    I’ve never been but now I definitely want to! i love all of your photos, Bonnie! <3

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/05022023043718407104 Bonnie Rose

    I really enjoyed seeing “the lighter side” to Pompeii, I was in-love with your darkside from last week and this definitely didn’t disappoint!

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/05022023043718407104 Bonnie Rose

    Have never been to Pompeii but your photos make a strong case to go! Love the lighter side… beautiful photos as always!

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/05022023043718407104 Bonnie Rose

    Bonnie, your photos are absolutely stunning! Pompeii is such a cool place and I love your detail shots. Thanks for hosting Travel Tuesday!

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/05022023043718407104 Bonnie Rose

    Yes. You should also go check out Herculaneum. Its a little different as the debris that covered it was not as light as the ash that covered pompeii. Its much smaller, but since it was so well preserved it looks more like what it might have looked back in the day.

    Oh I hope you get too and then enjoy a pizza in Napoli for me too. Thank you for your sweet compliments Rachel x

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/05022023043718407104 Bonnie Rose

    Oh awesome! So glad…it was a fun two parter. Kind like doing series like that too.

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/05022023043718407104 Bonnie Rose

    Oh good then I did my job 😉 Hope you get to go and enjoy all the other great sites nearby Naples like Sorrento and Capri. x

    Your are very welcome and thank you for linking up. Pompeii was so much fun and I cannot wait to go again with my kids. I’ve really lot count how many times I have been but its so big that theres always so much to see.

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/05022023043718407104 Bonnie Rose

    YES!!! I want to do a big Italy trip at some point where I just visit a lot of beautiful places like that, eat tons of fantastic food, and just have the time of my life. I don’t want to do it on a backpacker’s budget, either, so that might have to be a few years down the road…
