This photo-of-the-day shows the Gulf of Naples with dawn coloring the sky behind Mount Vesuvius. Quiet. Beautiful. Right? Well, it wasn't that lovely in 79 AD when it blew its top and buried the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. What looks like two peaks in this photo was actually all just one much bigger mountain before it collapsed in the eruption, leaving the famous profile we see today.
