In my slow quest to move old photos to flickr, I’ve just posted a bunch taken in Athens and on Crete in 2002. This image is of some of the ruins on Gramvousa Island, the legendary home of Aeolus in the Odyssey, and the site of a 16th century Venetian fort (full set of photos is here).

I signed up with Dipity, to try out a timeline view of my blog.  Still seems a little buggy, particularly in the preview version 2 release, but cute.

I’ve had an idle Flickr account for years, as I’ve used Zooomr to store online photos. Zooomr’s great, but there just aren’t many standard tools and plug-ins that have been converted to use the Zooomr API, and the user community is still pretty small.  So I’ve decided to explore Flickr, starting by uploading some of my oldest digital pictures.  This one is of Silver Pass Lake, in the Sierra south of Yosemite.
