I’ve Moved!
November 20, 2008
So I’m sure that most people have noticed that the site has been offline for a few days. There’s a reason for that, which I will get to shortly. But first, let me just say this:
In fact, I am blogging at a new site I have just finished setting up: kennethhynek.net. A full explanation for the reasons behind the move can be found here
.
That said, this is not the end of Time Immortal. My wife Grace has expressed interest in taking over blogging at this domain, and I am working to make sure that she gets set up here as soon as possible.
Also, my profound apologies for the modification to the site face; the move was not as seamless as I would have hoped, and many of the image files for this theme, and in the gallery, were corrupted during the course of their evacuation from my previous web host’s servers. Until such time as I have repaired them, I’ve put a clean-looking template in place of the previous one.
Update: for the purposes of further traffic shaping, new posts from kennethhynek.net will be excerpted below. Full articles can be read at the new blog.

As we continued our walk through the Ancient Agora, we came across these ruins just after descending from the hill on which rests the Temple of Hephaestus. I can’t recall exactly what we’re looking at here — I want to think that these are ancient walls of houses, but something in the back of my mind is attempting to tell me that this is actually part of some sewage system of ancient Athens.

Either way, it certainly looks neat on camera. The Agora is chock full of this sort of thing, old bits and pieces of walls and canals telling the tale of the glory of an ancient civilization. Modern Athens isn’t quite as fascinating.
Edit-wise, this shot received some chromatic aberration correction in Lightroom, and a bit of colour adjustment (white balance, saturations). I wanted to bring out the green a tad more than the camera decided to.
