I took my family to the Getty Museum in LA. While there, I made a couple of images. This one turned out pretty well.
From "Modern Epic: Geek Mythology"
The self-proclaimed God of Light and Truth, Apollo uses his fame and notoriety to covertly alter reality to his own advantage. Bringing both great plagues and great healing, Apollo is worshipped for the truth he creates, while a blind eye is turned to the cost of its creation.

After peeling off the tape and Micro Mask, I have a white astronaut with a gold bubble helmet. He'll be just visible through the LM window.

Wer über Hawaii in die USA reist, muss nun mal Einreisedokumente ausfüllen. Das galt auch für die Crew von Apollo 11. Also trugen die drei Astronauten ganz korrekt ein, dass sie von Cape Canaveral (dem NASA-Startplatz) mit Zwischenstopp auf dem Mond nach Hawaii kamen.

This airstream trailer was used as a decontamination chamber for returning Apollo program astronauts.

In the Blue Corner, the Challenger...
Fabulous, unrepentantly un-hip, stripped down old pusher outside North Walsham library.
Apparently with old bungee rope securing the pump to the frame.
Whether it has anything to do with the current Apollo Cycle company I don't know, but I just love it when I find old stuff still doing what it's supposed to do with no funny business like restoration or customisation going on. As far as I can tell only the saddle's been changed. Oh, and the tyres, maybe...
Note the somewhat cursory lock - to the saddle stay, rather than the more substantial frame! With care one could probably wiggle the saddle through the loop and have off with it, but somehow I think this one's safe!
An eighties classic, I would say. www.copenhagenize.com/

Apollo and Daphne was completed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in 1625, when he was only 27 years old.
It depicts the myth of the nymph Daphne escaping the advances of Apollo by transforming into a laurel tree.
The leaves are so fine that when struck with a tool, the marble makes a sound like crystal glass.
From Ovid's Metamorphoses:
"As Apollo relentlessly chases Daphne—boasting, pleading, and promising everything. When her strength is finally spent she prays to her father Peneus:
"Destroy the beauty that has injured me, or change the body that destroys my life." Before her prayer was ended, torpor seized on all her body, and a thin bark closed around her gentle bosom, and her hair became as moving leaves; her arms were changed to waving branches, and her active feet as clinging roots were fastened to the ground—her face was hidden with encircling leaves.
Even like this Apollo loved her and, placing his hand against the trunk, he felt her heart still quivering under the new bark. He clasped the branches as if they were parts of human arms, and kissed the wood. But even the wood shrank from his kisses, and the god said:
"Since you cannot be my bride, you must be my tree! Laurel, with you my hair will be wreathed, with you my lyre, with you my quiver. You will go with the Roman generals when joyful voices acclaim their triumph, and the Capitol witnesses their long processions. You will stand outside Augustus's doorposts, a faithful guardian, and keep watch over the crown of oak between them. And just as my head with its uncropped hair is always young, so you also will wear the beauty of undying leaves."

You are now standing in one of the actual Apollo White Rooms, removed from Launch Pad-Complex 39 at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida. It was here- suspended more than 320 feet above the ground- that many historic and dramatic moments unfolded as astronaut crews prepared to be inserted into their Apollo spacecraft for launch. In this small, historic room, the "butterflies" were felt and final "goodbyes were made. For many, it was a room where reality set in as to what they were about to do, and the risk they were about to take.
The White Room was attached to a 60-foot long, cantilevered "swing arm" which was connected to the rocket gantry. About four hours before liftoff, the astronaut crews would walk across the swing arm and enter the White Room. The structure of the room partially wrapped around the entry hatch area of the spacecraft and sealed out the elements. After the astronauts were inserted into the Command Module, the main hatch was shut and locked. Just prior to launch, the White Room swung away from the spacecraft. The astronauts were now alone, sitting atop a 36-story skyscraper of a rocket with the explosive power of an atomic bomb.
This specific White Room was one of three used during the Apollo lunar program, and was later recycled for use during the Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz programs. Historical records no longer exist to indicate which specific astronaut crews said their "goodbyes" in this White Room, but it is likely that at least a third of the 14 Apollo crews that departed from Launch Pad-Complex 39 began their journey here, and stood exactly where you are standing now. Only one other Apollo White Room from Pad 39 still exists, and it is on display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor's Center, Florida.

The theater is located at 253 W. 125th Street in Harlem in what is now one of the best-known black neighborhoods in New York City and probably the country. When the Apollo re-opened in 1934 the area around 125th Street was a transitional neighborhood. In the decades before the Apollo, the theater had catered to white audiences with white shows featuring burlesque. When Sydney S. Cohen and his partner, Morris Sussman, reopened the Apollo on January 26, 1934, they published an ad in the New York Age which referred to the Apollo as "the finest theater in Harlem".
