Winckelmann (1856) thought the sculptor of this statue, because "he wished to personify the most beautiful of gods, he expressed only the anger in the nose and the contempt on the lips. The later emotion is manifested by the election of the lower lip, by which the chin is raised at the same time; the former is visible in the dilated nostrils."

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."
The Kitty Hawk, commanded by Alan Shepard and piloted by Stuart Roosa, with Edgar Mitchell as Lunar Module pilot. Apollo 14 was launched on January 31, 1971; the LEM carrying Shepard and Mitchell touched down in the Moon's Fra Mauro region on February 5. The crew was the first to make 2 EVAs on the Moon. Kitty Hawk splashed down on February 9, 2010 in the South Pacific near New Zealand.

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.

Yet more proof that Apollo is truly the most fantastic dog! He is reading Diego's Spongebob Squarepants book with him. The choice of reading material was not Apollo's!
When I was in Florence and then in Rome, I fell in love with Bernini. Who wouldn't? This is my version of his sculpture in marble of the same subject, an awesome masterwork of immense courage and confidence. It constitutes one leg of the "L" scupture, "Bernini's Box", 2003. The box form itself is inspired by a combination Cluadine Claudel and classic Roman and Greek sarcophogi.
This is the upoer part of the command module, with packed paracutes. It was a challenge finding the right colors in pictures of museum exhibits

The Apollo–Soyuz Test Project, in July 1975, was the first joint U.S.–Soviet space flight, and the last flight of an Apollo spacecraft. Its primary purpose was as a symbol of the policy of détente that the two superpowers were pursuing at the time, and marked the end of the Space Race between them that began in 1957. The Soyuz was launched just over seven hours prior to the launch of the Apollo Command and Service Module. Apollo then maneuvered to rendezvous and docked with Soyuz 52 hours after the Soyuz launch. The Apollo and Soyuz crews conducted a variety of experiments over a two-day period. After separation, Apollo remained in space an additional 06 days. Soyuz returned to Earth approximately 30 hours after separation.
with Coco and Apollo...and a couple of frisbees!! It was getting too dark to even see in the view finder...this was the best blind shot I got.

BRAND NEW COLOR! "Soviet Red Edition" - A second in our Rocket Science line: Apollo–Soyuz Test Project. (Eksperimantalniy polyot Soyuz-Apollon). A symbolic end to the cold war space race, the US and Soviet ships docked for the first time, July 17, 1975.
This shot was taken up a lookout which was just a couple of kilometres or so North of Apollo Bay townsite, overlooking the township. The horse stood out very well against the dark sky as we drove up to the lookout and so caught my attention. Hence the shot.
Not sure whether this is an authentic 1920s Spanish Revival mansion or a modern pastiche, but it certainly catches the eye.
Strobist info: SB800, 1/8th power in a 28" Apollo softbox just shy of 90 degrees camera left. 1/125 to kill the abient. The little bit of bounce on the back of his head and neck is coming from a black wall directly behind him.
