I found this picture on a roll of film left in a camera that I bought at a thrift store years back. A Minolta 7000, I still have the camera.
Found film by
Ronald Bishop, on Flickr

Ron, we solved this one back in Nelsonfoto times. One of the highest points of Internet coincidence. In a plane, bored, going through the airline magazine, and I see an image that rings a bell - after some memory work, it was very similar to the one in your Minolta.
The thread is still in the old forum site (

The place is the city walls of Pompeii, the fabulous Roman site in southern Italy close to the Vesuvius vulcan. You may look in the web for more.
Here is a typical image in a tourism site.
Some years after the Nelsonfoto thread I even got to visit the place for a few hours!
