Era una divinità speciale, Apollo, per la mitologia greca e romana. Un dio con le ali ai piedi, bello e seduttore, come soltanto gli dei possono esserlo. Forse proprio per questo hanno attribuito il suo nome a questa splendida farfalla montana e alpina. L'hanno infatti chiamata Parnassius apollo e quando la si incontra, sui pascoli montani o sulle praterie d'altitudine, non si può che rimanere incantati ..... ..

These are my pet rocks I picked up in Norway a few years back. I like to think they are dwelling in a cave here, because that’s what you do in caves. And there may even be a troll sleeping somewhere nearby. I like trolls. Not the internet variety!
Anyway a friend told me that they didn’t like puns about stones. My sediment exactly! the one on the left, Apollo, is the shy one, I think he wishes he was a little boulder. Did I mention I picked these guys up quite cheap? They were on shale. But I do like them, I never take them for granite. Though I did make the mistake of mentioning to send them home once, they looked petrified! They forgave me though and we started with a clean slate , and now have a plutonic relationship :)
Happy new week all
FlickrFriday - concept of rocks being pets
As it is so often the case, beautiful motifs are difficult to achieve. I found this beautiful Apollo butterfly above Lake Lungern (Canton Obwalden) on an extremely steep slope. That I could photograph it so close was probably due to a cloud that covered the sun. I had observed before that these butterflies fly less without sunshine and like to sit down. But maybe this is only my subjective impression...
(Parnassius apollo)
Wie so oft sind schöne Motive schwer zu erreichen. Dieser schöne Apollofalter fand ich oberhalb des Lungernsees (Kanton Obwalden) an einem extrem steilen Hang. Dass ich ihn überhaupt so nah ablichten konnte, lag wohl an einer Wolke, die die Sonne bedeckte. Ich hatte schon früher beobachtet, dass diese Schmetterlinge ohne Sonnenschein weniger fliegen und sich gerne niedersetzen. Aber vielleicht ist das nur mein subjektiver Eindruck...
Vielen Dank, Fredy, für die genaue Bestimmung! Es ist also ein Alpenapollo.

In Herculane Resort, Romania
After the conquest of Dacia by the Romans, Hercules baths were built. Herculane Spa resort is one of the few Roman baths which has kept the original function until today.
During over 160 years of Roman dominion, Hercules baths became known throughout the empire.
The cult of Hercules was deeply rooted in the conscience of the Romans. He represented the perfect balance of physical strength and spiritual creative energy.
Later, during the Austrian occupation, the baths were used frequently by administrators and solders. Here is the women's bath, also called Venus Bath. Apollo Baths museum opened recently and needs more serious restoration.

Shot at the HANGING GARDENS OF BABYLON
.
According to the ancient Greek myth, Apollo mocked Eros, who decided to take some revenge on the God of music, poetry and the arts, so he shot him with the golden arrow of passionate love, while he shot the nymph Daphne with the arrow of hate.
Apollo pursued Daphne who ran away from him. When he finally reached her, she begged her father Peneus to have the Earth take her in so as to escape the embrace of the passionate God. She was so turned to a gorgeous plant, taking root in the ground, the plant Laurel. Apollo was heartbroken but swore to hold her forever, wear her on his head, hence the poets and artists were crowned with laurel leaves, φύλλα Δάφνης.
Apollo rendered her evergreen, her leaves never decaying.
This is a copy of the famous sculpture by the Italian sculptor Bernini. Daphne is turning into the laurel tree, as Apollo is touching her.

It is also one of the statues decorating the gorgeous HANGING GARDENS OF BABYLON palace on sl.

The apollo butterfly is the largest butterfly in Germany and unfortunately also the most endangered one. It is classified as critically endangered. There are only some very small isolated populations left. Reasons for the massive decline is again loss and destruction of habitat and the use of herbicides in agriculture. Photographing these beautiful butterflies was long on my bucket list. I really hope that the conservation measures will bring this unique butterfly back from the brink of extinction.
a little photo shoot with my dear friend and Daddy, Apollo - potential Profile work with his new look.
Many thanks to everyone who will pass by visiting my shots. Comments are appreciated. You are welcome. Sergio

Amsterdam - Gerrit van der Veenstraat.
Office building, built in 1939. Architect: Dirk Roosenburg.
Het Apollo House is een kantoorgebouw aan de Apollolaan en de Stadionweg in Amsterdam-Zuid. Het is sinds 2004 een rijksmonument.
Het is in 1937-1939 gebouwd naar een ontwerp van Dirk Roosenburg als hoofdkantoor van de Rijksverzekeringsbank (RVB), later genaamd Sociale Verzekeringsbank. Het bestaat uit een 10 meter hoog ringgebouw en een 40 meter hoog gebouw op een as van de ring. Het heeft een staalskelet. Aanvankelijk waren de gevels bekleed met geglazuurde keramische platen; deze zijn in 1968 vervangen door witte platen van travertijn. Het gebouw is ook bekend onder de bijnaam 'Oceaanstomer'. (Wp).
Parnassius apollo (Apollofalter, mountain Apollo) on Centaurea jacea (Wiesen-Flockenblume), Lac Brenet, Jura, Vaud, Switzerland
The theater is located at 253 W. 125th Street in Harlem on the borough of Manhattan, in the City of New York. The Apollo Theater in NYC is one of the most famous music halls in the United States, and the most famous club associated almost exclusively with African-American performers.

Apollo, our adopted beautiful little boy kitty. He was born 8/21/2025. We also adopted his sister Luna; they are a bonded pair; they were in foster care. I'll post her pic next.
Apollo is loving life on the cat tree in our screened porch. He gets all the sun, sounds, and smells, of the woodlands around us. It took several weeks for the both of them to stop hissing and hiding (they were spirited feral kitties). We give them lots of love and play. Today, they run the place and give us so much joy. Apollo is a short haired, all grey kitty, with fur like velvet.
