This scene photographed from a rendezvous window of the American Apollo spacecraft in earth orbit shows the Soviet Soyuz spacecraft contrasted against a black-sky background with the earth's horizon above. The three major components of the Soyuz are the spherical-shaped Orbital Module, the bell shaped Descent Vehicle and the cylindrical-shaped Instrument Assembly Module. The American Docking Mechanism (DM) is visible very faintly at the bottom of the picture.
Iris, depicted as a winged woman, and identified by the kerykeio, is pouring wine from an oinochoe to Apollo for a libation. The God is standing in front of her with a phiale in his right hand, and holding a kithara with the left arm. Between the two deities a deer.

Apollo Bridge (Slovak: Most Apollo, provisionally known as Most Košická during construction, after the street leading to it) in Bratislava is a road bridge over the Danube in the capital of Slovakia. It is located between the Starý Most and Prístavný Most Bridges, a site which allowed almost perpendicular bridging, resulting in the shortest possible span.
Construction of the bridge began in 2003 and it was opened to the public on September 5, 2005. It is named for the "Apollo" oil refinery which was situated on the left river bank in this area before World War II. Its curved lines, inclined arches and virtual absence of right angles make the geometric shape of the bridge very sophisticated. In an unprecedented manoeuvre, the 5,240-ton steel structure, spanning 231 metres, was rotated across the river from its construction site on the left bank into its final position on a pillar 40 metres from the right bank. The Apollo Bridge was the only European project named one of five finalists for the 2006 Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award (OPAL Award) by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Wyrd Sisters - Dress Rehearsal
Fans of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series will love Stephen Briggs’ stage adaptation of his novel, The Wyrd Sisters (itself an interpretation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth). Everyone else will simply have a ball watching this clever and hilarious take on a classic tale.
