Walk the streets of Pompeii, virtually!
This is great: Google Map has added Pompeii into its list of street-viewable cities - or shall I say, landscapes.
I never went to Italy, and plan to do soon, and Pompeii is way up there on my list of visits to do. One thing I realize is how well preserved these ruins really are. I saw thousands of pictures, but it just seems like none have captured the beauty of what can be seen here, while browsing through these streets. It goes to show how much more immersive a Google Map walk can be. Impressive.
I went fast through the double-clicking, because the magic needs to stay for when I visit these ruins for real. One thing for sure, I will have to atone for the amount of time I will spend there, after seeing these shots. Stunning.
