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.

I guess it was fitting that the first train I ever photographed on the Portage Bridge was this D&H train with power from NS predecessor N&W on June 5, 1977. The train looks like Apollo 2, with a pair of high hood GP40's bracketing a U30B. I took this while attending my Senior Class picnic in Letchworth Park.
I'm not sure where I was going with this one, but I was running out of daylight and had to move fast. On a positive note I was able to keep my boots dry.

Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith. Opened as the Gaumont Palace in March 1932, having been long planned (from 1925) with initially the Davis family as promoters, but latterly Gaumont British. It was designed by Robert Cromie, and had 3,487 seats in stalls and balcony levels, plus standing room for a further 225. It is art deco in style, with panels by Newbury A. Trent. The Gaumont was equipped with a 35ft deep stage, full fly tower with 28 double purchase counterweight lines, a 64ft wide proscenium arch, and 20 dressing rooms. There is an 4 rank / 15 rank Compton organ, reinstated in 2005 after many years in storage. The Gaumont was renamed Odeon in 1962, regular films ceased in 1984, but sometimes occasionally play dates. It became the Apollo in 1992, and has been taken over by various companies over the years (Clear Channel; MAMA; HMV; Stage C) but is currently owned by CTS Eventim. As the finest surviving work by Robert Cromie, and (together with the Plaza Stockport), one of the greatest, and least altered 1930s super cinemas, the Apollo is grade 2* listed, and had a major refurbishment (Foster Wilson Architects) in the summer of 2013, uncovering and restoring many decorative features of the building. The Apollo is regularly featured on film and television, from "The Smallest Show on Earth" (1956 feature film) to "Live From The Apollo" regular TV Stand-up recording (18, and counting, series beginning 2004). Taken on a visit arranged by the Cinema Theatre Association.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11 at Kennedy Space Center, Florida! The American flag heralds the flight of Apollo 11, man's first lunar landing mission. The Apollo 11 Saturn V space vehicle lifted off with astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. at 9:32 a.m. EDT from KSC's Launch Complex 39A. During the eight-day mission, Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the Lunar Module to the Moon's surface while Collins orbited overhead in the Command Module. The two astronauts spent 22 hours on the Moon, including two-and-one-half hours outside the Lunar Module, gathering samples of lunar material and deploying scientific experiments that transmitted data about the lunar environment. They rejoined Collins in the Command Module for the return trip to Earth.
It is time for us to dream big again! As they did 50 years ago, our dreams today embody the hopes of all humanity to reach for new heights and reveal the unknown for the benefit of humankind. That is our vision Artemis 1.

A statuette of the Greek god Apollo at the Bowes Museum. Apollo is a sun-god, and I wanted the picture to convey this.
I saw 4 or 5 individuals in Spain in June, but this one was of particular interest as it's a pregnant female with the sphragis in position. The sphragis is a form of chastity belt and is secreted by the male during copulation. After copulation the secretion hardens to form a horny structure which prevents any other males from copulating with the female.

The Temple of Apollo in Side, Turkey, stands on the edge of the Mediterranean where the ancient city once thrived as a major port of Pamphylia. Built around 150 A.D. during the Roman era, it was dedicated to Apollo, the god of music, light, and harmony.

Not sure if these have ever been stitched together before now.
Still it's done now, what a nightmare ;-)
