ポンペイの廢墟（伊國）
The Ruins of Pompeii (Italy)
Between crumbling stone walls and a square pillar stand several large, round-bellied jars. These are the ruins of Pompeii, in Italy.
About this photo
A square stone pillar stands straight up in the middle of the picture. On the ground to its left and right are several large, round-bellied jars. Behind them, a half-collapsed stone wall runs across the scene, and at the right edge a dark wall juts out. Long horizontal lines run across the ground in front, and above is a bright sky.
The title reads "ポンペイの廢墟（伊國）," or "The Ruins of Pompeii (Italy)," with 伊國 standing for Italy. Today the ruins of Pompeii are part of the UNESCO World Heritage site Archaeological Areas of Pompei, Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata.
Look at the top of the pillar in the middle: one small square stone sticks up, narrower than the pillar itself. Right behind it is nothing but open, bright sky, so the corners of the stone stand out crisply.
