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.
Perge. 2nd century AD.
Apollo, the God of Light and Wisdom is here depicted as a young, muscular and handsome standing man. This statue was found in a good condition in the Northern Monumental Nymphaeum in 1971. Carrying his chlamys over his left shoulder and standing at rest. The weight of the statue is supported by the tree trunk carved by his right leg, his left hand rests upon his hip.

Apollo (Attic, Ionic, and Homeric Greek: Ἀπόλλων, Apollōn (gen.: Ἀπόλλωνος); Doric: Ἀπέλλων, Apellōn; Arcadocypriot: Ἀπείλων, Apeilōn; Aeolic: Ἄπλουν, Aploun; Latin: Apollō) is one of the most important and complex of the Olympian deities in ancient Greek and Roman religion, Greco–Roman Neopaganism, and Greek and Roman mythology. The ideal of the kouros (a beardless, athletic youth), Apollo has been variously recognized as a god of light and the sun, truth and prophecy, healing, plague, music, poetry, and more. Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto, and has a twin sister, the chaste huntress Artemis. Apollo is known in Greek-influenced Etruscan mythology as Apulu.
As the patron of Delphi (Pythian Apollo), Apollo was an oracular god—the prophetic deity of the Delphic Oracle. Medicine and healing are associated with Apollo, whether through the god himself or mediated through his son Asclepius, yet Apollo was also seen as a god who could bring ill-health and deadly plague. Amongst the god's custodial charges, Apollo became associated with dominion over colonists, and as the patron defender of herds and flocks. As the leader of the Muses (Apollon Musegetes) and director of their choir, Apollo functioned as the patron god of music and poetry. Hermes created the lyre for him, and the instrument became a common attribute of Apollo. Hymns sung to Apollo were called paeans.
I tried to describe as accurately as possible the different structures you can see here.
The Apollo 11 landing site is also figured out : in the southern mare tranquillitatis selected because it was a relatively flat and smooth area.

The hatch door from the Apollo 11 command module Columbia. NASA completely redesigned the hatch after the fatal Apollo 1 fire. To ensure a quick escape, astronauts could use the large pump handle on the left and open it from inside the capsule within seconds. This was one of the images on display at the St. Louis Science Center exhibit.

1973 Klaus Baess Apollo TT Deluxe. Built in Copenhagen, this well-laid out efficient trawler is a perfect candidate for anyone looking to run the great loop, or cruise the bay. She has two like new perkins M92 diesel engines installed in 2006 with very low hours. She sips fuel and maneuvers like a dream as a result. She is also fitted out with an aft cabin and Air Conditioning. She has beautiful lines and would make a fantastic cruiser for a couple or small family. Asking $18,000
The Boosters of an Apollo-Rocket. Taken during my Visit in the US way back in 2003 with the Mamiya C330 and good ol' Tri-X.
I've managed to squeeze as much detail as I think is feasible in such a small space, including the inside of the docking hatch.

The Apollo Belvedere or Apollo of the Belvedere — also called the Pythian Apollo[1] — is a celebrated marble sculpture from Classical Antiquity. It was rediscovered in the late 15th century, during the Renaissance. From the mid-18th century, it was considered the greatest ancient sculpture by ardent neoclassicists and for centuries epitomized ideals of aesthetic perfection for Europeans and westernized parts of the world.
The white marble sculpture, which is 2.24 m (7.3 feet) high, depicts the Greek god Apollo, who has just overtaken the serpent Python, the cthonic serpent of Delphi. The arrow has just left his bow and the effort impressed on his musculature still lingers. His hair, lightly curled, flows in ringlets down his neck and rises gracefully to the summit of his head, which is encircled with the strophium, a band symbolic of gods and kings. His quiver is suspended across his left shoulder. He is entirely nude except that his robe (chlamys) is clasped at his right shoulder and is turned up only on his left arm and thrown back.
The lower part of the right arm and the left hand were missing when discovered and were restored by Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli (1506-63), a sculptor and pupil of Michelangelo.
The moment when Apollo has shot his death-dealing arrow may have been at the slaying of Pytho, the primordial serpent guarding Delphi, making the sculpture a "Pythian Apollo", or at the slaying of Tityos, who threatened Leto.

De Apollo Belvedere is een van beroemdste voorstellingen van Apollo. Het huidige beeld in het Vaticaan, een Romeinse kopie van een origineel uit de 4e eeuw v. Chr., werd aan het eind van 15e eeuw ontdekt en had direct een enorme invloed op de uitbeelding van het mannelijk naakt.
The Webb Ellis Cup has completed its journey around Dubai as part of the Rugby World Cup Trophy Tour. The first day of the visit saw pupils from Rashid School for boys get a chance to see the Trophy. With many of the pupils already playing Rugby, it was an inspirational moment to get so close to the game’s biggest prize. Later that day the Webb Ellis Cup was guest of honour at a reception hosted by the British Embassy which was attended by various members of the local Rugby community. This included a number of previous Rugby World Cup stars including former Wales international, Tom Shanklin, former Scotland international, Rory Lawson and former Samoan international, Apollo Perelini.

Promotional and inspirational letter sent by NASA to key subcontractor staff working on the Apollo program. Dated 17 March 1965, the letter is significant because it includes original signatures of all 30 Apollo astronauts. Two more recent signatures appear at the bottom including that of Frank Borman who happened to be at Pima Air and Space Museum the day the letter was donated.
Colonel Borman recounted that when the letters were generated, all of the astronauts were required to attend the signing, located in a conference room filled with tables piled high with stacks of letters and fresh pens. Only after the letters were signed were the astronauts allowed to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
