The only Factory built Apollo with GM Corvette Engine
The Apollo GT was the brainchild of young Californian engineer Milt Brown who wanted to create an American car that could rival the European GT cars of the day. The car was designed by Hungarian engineer and immigrant Frank Reisner who, while on holiday in Turin, established a shop under the name of 'Intermeccanica'. By early 1963, a deal had been made and the first Apollo GT's went on production. The car's bodywork was produced in Turin by Intermeccanica and then shipped across the Atlantic to Oakland, California where Brown installed the drivetrain. The car was first styled by a friend of Milt Brown named Ron Plescia. However, the car's nose was thought to be too long and its rear-visibility too limited. Because of this, Reisner contracted former Bertone stylist Franco Scallion to revisit the design resulting in the current design.
Initially, Apollo's were sold only in two-seat configuration although a later 2+2 prototype was shown at the 1965 New York Auto Show. Brown's International Motorcars sold a total of 88 cars. Unfortunately, production of the car ended in mid-1964 due to a lack of financing.
This example was sold in 1965 and was likely built toward the end of the original round of Apollo production in California. Milt Brown remembers this car were well, as it was to be the transition from Buick 215 Alloy to Chevrolet power. They used the higher horsepower 327 Corvette motor (300 hp) which was a vast improvement over the small Buick motor. Just as the car was completed, Buick came out with their 300 cubic inch motor and the decision was made to continue with the Buick engines for the rest of the Apollos built, making this a unique car among a run of about 39 coupés built by the original company. Dr. Robert Turcios purchased this Chevrolet-powered Apollo in 1975 in Santa Rosa California. In 1976, Dr. Turcios was contacted by Walt Disney Productions, to rent the car to them for their new movie "Herbie goes to Monte Carlo". The car appeared in the movie driven by American Sports Car Legend Max Balchowsky. This one-off large displacement Italian bodied GT from the sixties, that has Milestone status, has been with the same marque specialist for over 40 years in California's dry climate.

I made a scrap book of the moon landing mission, 50 years ago. For some reason I have kept it, though every time I move it a few bits seem to fall off.
At last the USA achieved a space first, after all the other mile stones had gone Russia's way; if only the Russian publicity machine had been as good as their engineering we would have a lot more space race memories!
My enthusiasm was not quite matched by careful writing, I guess I was thinking of something else in the book when I wrote out the title. No space left to cover up the mistake!

Apollo Temple in Didim in Turkey... it has never been finished but two times it was very close... It would be the biggest Temple in the world... Sister Temple of Artemida's Temple in Ephesus
As I'm starting to do more in the Greek mythology series, I'm realizing that most of the gods just look like people.
Suggestions and comments are welcome.
Se han descrito un gran nĂşmero de subespecies de Parnassius apollo, casi una por montaña donde está presente la mariposa. TodavĂa son abundantes. Sin embargo, su futuro es incierto: A largo plazo, el cambio climático que comenzĂł hace 10.000 años y que continua en nuestros dias las convierte en claras candidatas a la extinciĂłn natural.

So for this week I really wanted to be a pyro and I had my friend dalton hold some fire... That's it...........
Just messing with you!!! This week I was going with the god Apollo, the sun god, and I really wanted to make it a complex shot, so that is exactly what I did. First off, we were out in this same spot for about 2 hours getting the chemical mixture right for the foam to light on fire, and then once we figured that out I played around with flash positioning to make the best looking drama on him along with background. I ended up getting lucky that when the sun was setting the sky would look so awesome and go so perfectly with my photo.
P.s. shout out to my friend Dalton(model) for posing in the freezing cold for so long, and Yash for letting me use your flash, don't worry, your new one is in the mail and I'm sorry for the scratches. Okay so back to the photo. In the end and long story short, camera was on a tripod, had one flash on a tripod and me holding the other, I lit the hands and used a remote as fast as possible to get the fire. Editing there was nothing really done, small amount of clarity change and then crop.
Location of Flashes: one off to the right of the photo giving the dominant light, then another up and to the left in front of the photo to give enough light to still see the shadows on the face.
This fits into my concentration well because it gives surrealistic feelings of him holding fire and the background, almost like he is on another planet.

His hand finally through the bloody ALUS,
He will be unable to protect himself by sea,
Between two rivers he will fear the military hand,
The black and angry one will make him repent of it.

While I was in Geneva for the motorshow, I was following along closely on Instagram to see what cars were out and about in Geneva. Luckily I came across a place called 'Carugati Automobiles' and decided I should head there ASAP and I'm so glad I did as I managed to catch the insane Apollo IE just before it left. Insane day wrapped up with a few Pagani's and various other insane cars!
