The Apollo survival kit provided 48 hours of survival supplies for the three-man crew. Displayed are the contents of one of two rucksacks.
Combination Survival-Light Assembly [Survival-Lite 4H-1]
The assembly is a hand-held unit used for visual signaling, which is accomplished by means of a strobe light, a flashlight, or a signal mirror. Additionally, the unit contains a siren whistle, a compass, fire starters, cotton balls, halogen tablets, a water receptacle, knife blades, needles, nylon cord, and fishhooks.
Desalter Kit
The kit consists of two processing bags, eight chemical packets, and mending tape. Each chemical packet is designed to produce 1 pint of potable water. The water is processed by mixing seawater and a chemical packet for a certain period of time. The mixture is then filtered to produce the drinking water.
Skin Protection Lotion
Protection against sunburn was provided by two plastic squeeze bottles containing approximately 2 ounces each of skin protection lotion. The lotion was water repellant.
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!

The small rocket, attached to the top of the Command Module, is the Launch Escape System that would be used to pull the Command Module (which contained the crew cabin) away from the launch vehicle in an abort situation.
The Apollo Program was a human spaceflight program undertaken by NASA during the years 1961–1975 with the goal of conducting manned moon landing missions. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy announced a goal of landing a man on the moon by the end of the decade. It was accomplished on July 20, 1969 by the landing of astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, with Michael Collins orbiting above during the Apollo 11 mission. Five other Apollo missions also landed astronauts on the Moon, the last one in 1972. These six Apollo spaceflights are the only times humans have landed on another celestial body. The Apollo program, specifically the lunar landings, is often cited as the greatest achievement in human history.
It's a cold rainy day so I'm going through some of my summer pictures and posting. Here is Apollo looking up from chewing a blade of grass.

At the southwest corner of Twelfth and Walnut Streets in Over-the-Rhine lies one of Cincinnati's most beautiful yet under-appreciated relics - the Germania Building.
Over an abandoned entrance on the Twelfth Street side is a statue of a chariot with Apollo driving four horses.
The Germania Building stands as a monument to the important role that German immigrants played in the development of the city and its business community. Built in 1877 at a cost of $100,000, this striking building was constructed by Heinrich Arminius Rattermann (1832-1923), to house his company, the German Mutual Insurance Company of Cincinnati. The building was designed by Johann Bast (1812-1880), a German-born builder and architect. The building's style is an example of Renaissance Revival, and, like so many buildings in Over-the-Rhine, is built of red brick, faced on Walnut Street with a handsome limestone facade.
The building is one of the most ornate in the city, but the most striking elements of this handsome structure are its two prominent sculptures, executed by Leopold Fettweis, a nineteenth century Cincinnati sculptor. On the second floor front is a statue named Germania, who symbolizes German culture and the German sprit. At her feet are: a palette, representing art; books, representing learning; a telescope, representing astronomy; a capital, representing architecture, and flora, representing nature.
After America entered World War I on the Allied side, German-Americans and their traditions were quickly stigmatized. The names of foodstuffs, businesses, families, and streets, were changed from German-sounding titles to anglicized ones. For example, in Over-the-Rhine, Berlin Street was renamed Woodward and Bremen Street was changed to Republic, to name but a few. In May 1919, the study of German in public schools was forbidden, ending a tradition of bilingualism in Cincinnati.
The Germania Building and the German Mutual Insurance Company of Cincinnati were also affected, the latter changing its' name to Hamilton Mutual Insurance (the company remains in business under that name today). The statue of Germania was covered with a black cloth, and then draped with an American flag in April of 1918; before long, the statue and the building had been renamed "Columbia." The United States' motto, E Pluribus Unum, was carved on the hem of the statue's robe. Panels were placed in the arched pediment to cover the company's German name, and remain in place in the early twenty-first century.

Apollo Bay, Victoria 2006.
Reprocessing some really old shots from when we first got our 20D. Images were less sharp due to the use of a really bad tripod and composition leaves alot to be desired. Nonetheless , I do remember the area vividly due to how striking the lighting was around sunset. Great holiday spot - or so most of Victoria thought at the time with every camp site filled to the brim.
Apollo 13 Command Module Odyssey on display at the Kansas Cosmosphere in Hutchison, KS
Apollo 13 was the third manned lunar-landing mission, part of Project Apollo under the NASA in the United States. It launched on April 11, 1970. Two days after the launch, the Apollo spacecraft was crippled by an explosion, causing the Service Module portion of the Apollo Command/Service Module to lose its oxygen and electrical power. The crew used the Lunar Module as a ?lifeboat? in space. The command module systems remained functional, but were deactivated to preserve its capability to reenter Earth?s atmosphere upon return to the earth. The crew endured difficult conditions due to severe constraints on power, cabin heat, and potable water, but successfully returned to Earth.

Forget-me-Knot
Confusion reigns in David Tristram’s superb comedy. Is anyone who they say they are?
Production kindly sponsored by Vectis Rotary.
11-13 and 16-19 May 2017 (note changed show dates for this production)
Forget-Me-Knot, by David Tristram, tells the tale of a man who may or may not be Robert Zeinfeld, found wandering and suffering from amnesia. Detective Inspector Monroe is the man charged with working out who this mystery man is, with the help – or rather hindrance – of Mrs Zeinfeld and his own wife Samantha.
Robert is a confused man, not of his own doing – a bump on the head resulting in amnesia and a night in the cells have attributed to that. Inspector Monroe is also a confused man, but he has nobody to blame but himself.
Robert has been found wandering the streets in his confused state. His Filofax knows who he is – but does anybody else? Monroe is on the case – or seems to think he is. More confusion rains down when Robert’s wife is summoned and doesn’t know what’s going on either; but what she does know is that Robert shouldn’t be anywhere near where he was found and probably with a mistress, whom he definitely shouldn’t be anywhere near. When the mistress turns up, utter confusion is unleashed upon the stage. Is Robert who everybody else says he is? Does he really have amnesia? If he doesn’t then what is he doing with a wife like that in the first place? Is anybody actually who they maintain they are?
Forget-Me-Knot has been described as ‘one of the funniest British farces … with superb laugh-out-loud comedy’. We think you’ll agree!

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.

sketchbook drawings of Apollo head (Arundel Collection)
After a couple of years of pretty intense Plein Air painting, I am now spending this winter going back to drawing. I'm not picking anything "easy" these casts and sculptures are very challenging to draw from the motif, and very soon one becomes aware of all sorts of problems. Still I will keep at it and hope something from these studies leads into my easel work at some stage.
Apollo 15 selected photos of interesting specimen rocks on Moon's surface. I enhanced photos for clarity - some are rotated.
New Mexico Museum of Space History
The Apollo Fuel Cell was designed to convert cryogenic oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2) into electrical power. A vitally important by-product of this chemical reaction was the production of water (H2O) which was used by the astronauts during their mission. A complement of three 28-volt fuel cells provided all the onboard electrical power to the Apollo Command and Service Module (the Lunar Excursion Module was battery powered). Each fuel cell was rated at 1.5kW, with a maximum power of 2.2kW for brief periods. Each fuel cell consisted of 31 cells connected in scries (each producing one volt) and weighed 245 pounds. Each fuel cell had its own hydrogen and oxygen compartment and two electrodes (conductors). The heat produced by the chemical reaction (mixing H2 with O2) was used to maintain the gases at a reactive temperature (385 F) while excess heat was vented into space. The three power cells operated in parallel; although a single power plant was enough to ensure safe return. Fuel cells were first tested during the Gemini program and are still used today, in modified form, aboard the Space Shuttle.

The Sanctuary and Temple of Apollo Hylates at Kourion
Situated about 2,5 kilometres west of the ancient city of Kourion, the Sanctuary of Apollo Hylates was one of the principal religious centres of Cyprus where Apollo was worshipped as Hylates, god of the woodlands.
This well - defined architectural complex in Cyprus offers insight into the development of a Cypriot rural sanctuary from the Bronze Age through to the end of paganism on the island. There were three fairly distinct building periods. The Archaic Sanctuary developed essentially in the 7th century B.C. while the Ptolemaic Sanctuary belongs to the 3rd century BC. Finally, the Roman Sanctuary dates to the 1st century A.D.
It appears the Archaic Sanctuary originally comprised an enclosure in the centre of the later, much larger sanctuary. The present remains date to the mid -1st century A.D.The complex of the sanctuary included a palaestra, stoa, the treasury, the baths, the archaic temenos, the circular monument, the central courtyard and the temple of Apollo. Destroyed by an earthquake in A.D. 365 it was later occupied by squatters. Several of the collapsed buildings have been restored.
The Roman Temple of Apollo Hylates was a magnificent structure occupying the most commanding position at the end of the sacred street of the sanctuary. It had two main architectural phases. The first, dating back to the very end of the Classical or Early Hellenistic period, was a single construction, rectangular in shape. The foundation of the temple and the lower row of blocks decorated with a simple cyma belong to this early phase. The temple was rebuilt in the second half of the 1st century A.D. The approach to the new Roman temple was along an impressive staircase. Its interior followed the architectural features of the earlier temple, but the entire building was constructed on a higher level and had a podium corresponding to the lower row of blocks of the earlier temple. The high podium is a manifestly Roman feature. The temple was destroyed by the severe earthquake of A.D. 364/365.
