Time Immortal

Just west of the Acropolis is a hill called the Areopagus (’Hill of Ares’). It’s a rather large, nondescript piece of rock (very smooth rock, I should note — in many places, it’s hard to find good footing) that apparently served as the homicide ‘court’ for the ancient Athenians. It offers a pretty commanding view not only of the Acropolis, but of the Ancient Agora and the Temple of Hephaestus nearby.

And it made the perfect setting for another picture of Grace, with the Acropolis in the background. (she’s so pretty, isn’t she?)

This picture didn’t need to be processed using iPhoto’s ‘Enhance’ feature; its colours and white balance were fine after processing in Lightroom. It was a pretty straightforward shot, and the camera handled it very well — the only adjustment I really needed to make to it in post-processing was a bit of chromatic aberration reduction.
