This was the second night during my trip down under. Apollo Bay is a very quiet and nice town which I feel is a good place to stop over for a night or two before embarking on a long journey!
Having enough time to clean up the MOCs and taking the opportunity to shoot newer pics. The temple was a part of the Achilles assault on Troy diorama and most event goers didn't readily notice the statue of Apollo inside until it was mentioned to them...
Today is the first of two consecutive days of NASA memories. WE remember the astronauts, Virgil (Gus) Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee so tragically taken from the world in a cockpit fire during a routine test. Their tragic deaths helped pave the way to a full redesign of the Apollo Command Module that led to Apollo 11's landing on the Moon in 1969.
Please take two minutes from your busy days to think of these three lovely men who gave their lives. Thank you
Apollo Community Regional Park, named in honor of the Apollo 11 astronauts, was dedicated in 1972 and features three man-made lakes. The 54-acre park has walking paths around all three lakes.

Apollo is one of the most important and complex of the Olympian deities in classical Greek and Roman religion and Greek and Roman mythology. The ideal of the kouros (a beardless, athletic youth), Apollo has been variously recognized as a god of music, truth and prophecy, healing, the sun and light, plague, poetry, and more. Apollo is the son of Zeus and Leto, and has a twin sister, the chaste huntress Artemis.
Last weekend I had the pleasure of spending it in the company of Giles McGarry and Julien Carcano and we hit the coast of Suffolk. Giles was very kind to put up with us for the weekend and drive us from location to location... thanks Giles. His wife was even kinder to cook dinner for us each night... thank you Kirsty, the food was wonderful.
The trip had been planned for a while and we kept a watchful eye on the weather the week leading up to it and it didn't look promising... clear blue skies.
We were lucky on the Saturday as we had some cloud coverage, but the Sunday was almost impossible. We decided to finish the day off at Dovercourt and the conditions for me couldn't have been better. From previous (failed) attempts I knew what I wanted, I set up and probably spent the best part of 90 minutes in the same spot shooting frame after frame to get the right light.
This shot is 3 shots stitched and obviously made in to a triptych, the pressure was on this week to get this processed, printed and to the framers in time to get it ready for my upcoming exhibition. When I picked this up tonight, I was a little nervous that there would be something in the printing that I wouldn't like, purely because I rushed it, but I am pleased to say that it looked fantastic.
If you are interested in seeing this is print, then please feel free to come along to my exhibition, the details can be found on my Facebook page (scroll down).
As for the title, I have a 2:1 and possibly a 1:1 to come.

The Lunar Module (LM) was a two-stage spacecraft built by Grumman that was the first vehicle designed to operate solely in the vacuum of space and designed to ferry two astronauts from lunar orbit to the Moon's surface and back. The "Eagle" was the specific lunar module used during the Apollo 11 mission, which was the first mission to land humans on the Moon on July 20, 1969. The mission fulfilled President John F. Kennedy's goal of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth before the end of the 1960s.
The descent stage of the Lunar Module, the lower section, remained on the Moon after the astronauts left. The ascent stage, which contained the crew compartment, lifted off from the Moon to rendezvous with the orbiting command module. Six of these descent stages remain at their landing sites on the Moon today.
This model is a display at the National Space Centre in Leicester, UK. This is a major highlight of the centre, which also houses a 42-meter-high rocket tower, the UK's largest planetarium, and other space-related galleries with interactive displays and artifacts. As well as this model of the Apollo Lunar Lander, there is a real moon rock collected during the Apollo 17 mission.

In the Apollo temple built between 1761-1763 by Nicolas de Pigage. In the 18th-century people were already making nasty comments about Apollo's butt and because he's holding the lyra with his right hand and playing with the left hand. They liked to call him lefty, which has a double meaning in German, deceitful and lefthanded. Wilhelm Heinse (1746-1803) wrote to his friend Jakobi: "the lefty god has a miserable butt".

Der Rote Apollo oder Apollofalter ist ein in Europa stark bedrohter und streng geschützter Schmetterling aus der Familie der Ritterfalter. Der Gattungsname leitet sich vom Berg Parnass in Mittelgriechenland ab, der als Sitz der Musen gilt und dem Gott Apollon gewidmet ist.

Second version with a full glass window in the rooms. This is the view from the back. I will be sending updates soon or you can request a redelivery at the mainstore.

It's designed to look like it's been weathered and stained by rain and sun and the use of glass giving you plenty of opportunity to enjoy both.
This is a photograph taken from the Apollo 8 spacecraft looking back at the Saturn V third (S-IVB) stage from which the spacecraft had just separated following trans-lunar injection. Attached to the S-IVB is the Lunar Module Test Article (LTA) which simulated the mass of a Lunar Module (LM) on the Apollo 8 lunar orbit mission. The 29-feet panels of the Spacecraft LM Adapter which enclosed the LTA during launch have already been jettisoned and are out of view. Sunlight reflected from small particles shows the "firefly" phenomenon which was reported by astronaut John H. Glenn Jr. during the first Earth-orbital flight, Mercury-Atlas 6 (MA-6) of the Mercury Program.

The Apollo Theatre, created for my book NEW YORK CITY BRICK BY BRICK. The inspiration behind including this icon in my book were that many of my favorite musical acts gave key performances there and also my days playing softball in Harlem.
