Musée du Louvre, Paris, France

The last two times I visited Paris, the Louvre was closed and I was unable to enjoy its exhibits. This time around, I made sure I scheduled a day to visit this world famous museum and gallery. I was particularly struck by the treasures taken and on display from ancient Persia. Knowing that I was going to be in Iran a week later, I wanted to appreciate the sculptures and artifacts taken from Darius’ Palace (Apadana), Persepolis, and Choqa Zambil. Other notable exhibits included The Winged Victory of Samothrace, the Mona Lisa, The Wedding Feast at Cana, Venus de Milo, and the original Code of Hammurabi (there is a copy in the National Museum of Iran in Tehran).

    #U2 Hard to believe that the 2019 Joshua Tree open #U2 Hard to believe that the 2019 Joshua Tree opener in Auckland, New Zealand was 3 years ago today.

I’m really enjoying Bono’s autobiography #SurrenderMemoir. Incredible perspectives of his upbringing and influences in Dublin.

Last image on this post has a snippet of an IEM recording I took from the Auckland rehearsal on November 3, 2019. New Zealand in a way is In God’s Country.

This song (and album) is the soundtrack to my 2008 summer backpack travels in Egypt, Jordan, and Israel (Jerusalem, of course).

Got a GA ticket for this show - nice to be back after 3 years to be on the floor and on the rail. Was able to get my camera in for these photos.
