Part 2 of the 5th 30 minute segment of the Virtual Pompeii Walk recorded by ProWalk Tours

Part 2 of the 5th 30 minute segment of the Virtual Pompeii Walk recorded by ProWalk Tours. In this segment we see the entrance, at least, to the House of Obellius Firmus, a domus almost as large as the House of the Faun, WWII bomb damage, the remains of a street altar, another relief of Priapus (viewer discretion advised), marine mosaics of the Domus of M Caesi Blandi, and explore the House of the Wounded Bear, another domus featuring a mosaic fountain, beautiful mosaic floors, and hunt-themed murals.

All of these images are screen captures from the Pompeii Walking Tour 2020 video courtesy of the POMPEII ARCHAEOLOGICAL PARK and ProWalk Tours. Note: ProWalk Tours as producer of the original video footage has agreed to allow my derivative still images to be licensed with Creative Commons Attribution Sharealike. I have used Topaz Sharpen AI to remove the slight motion blur in screen captures as well as Adobe Camera Raw to adjust clarity, texture, highlights, shadows, and occasionally haze and white balance. I increased dynamic contrast and added a subtle vignette with On1 Photo Raw Effects and removed distracting visitors and replaced empty skies with Photoshop and its Sky Replacement feature, changing the blend mode from Screen to Multiply to avoid excessive editing of the mask layer.

You can explore the Pompeii Walk video yourself here - no special hardware is required:
