Pompei? I am Sorry Nov. 8-9

Thousands of miles away, but these little ladies followed me. Or I followed them. Either way, I saw them in January 07 at the Toledo Museum of Art, and here they are again in Naples.










Needs no explanation.













Paestum! Greek colony in Italy. The wall paintings that came from here are significant because they're almost-Greek. This one is my favorite. It's from a tomb and that's a diver, diving from this life to the after life, metaphorically speaking. I bought an ashtray with him on it, ironic?







Temple of Neptune at Paestum.
