Description:
This photo was taken at the train stop at Pompeii in Napoli, Italy. I took this picture as my mother and I were waiting for the old subway train that takes passengers to the stop where we would would board a boat to go to the island of Capris, just off the coast of Napoli. This photo relates to this year's theme of "Phenomena" because it shows the quiet and seemingly eerie nature of most of Napoli. Napoli has a lot of very run down buildings, and this picture shows one side of the story. You would expect the city that hosts one of the marvels of the world, the ruins of Pompeii, to be well maintained and up to date; however, the city of Napoli also seems to be stuck in the past, much like the rest of the country. This is not a bad thing; however, as it preserves and maintains the deeply rooted history of the wonderful nation of Italy.
