Shame on them all.   UNO and all its agencies have become moribund and irrelevant and need to be shut.  

    San Telmo is the oldest neighborhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina , known for its historic architecture, cobblestone streets, and vibrant cultural scene. It's a popular tourist destination, particularly on Sundays when the Defensa street market draws large crowds. The area boasts a bohemian atmosphere with antique shops, art galleries, and late-night bars, alongside traditional steakhouses and upscale tango venues.  

       Flea market or as the French call in  Marché aux Puces in Fontainbleu.                          These French birds need to show more respect to Napoleon Bonaparte!                                            #Fontaibleu #France #NapoleonBonaparte #kjschatrath  

 I came across this stunning painting in the Louvre, when I visited it last  about two years back.  This painting is entitled   ‘The Piligrims at Emmaus’. It is an oil painting done on canvas around 1559 by Paolo Caliari (Dit Veronese) born at Veron 1528, died Venice 1588.  Based on the Bible, after his resurrection, Christ is recognised by two disciples when he blesses the bread during a meal at Emmaus. The painting portrays a Venetian patrician family (from the ruling class), together with servants and dogs, is present at the supper at Emmaus.  By closely combining the sacred and the profane, Veronese intended to emphasize Christ’s humanity and bring the divine into everyday life.    

     

 I visited Assisi in December 2023.  Assisi is a hill town in central Italy’s Umbria region. It was the birthplace of St. Francis (1181–1226), one of Italy’s patron saints. The Basilica of St. Francis is a massive, 2-level church, consecrated in 1253. Its 13th-century frescoes portraying the life of St. Francis have been attributed to Giotto and Cimabue, among others. The crypt houses the saint’s stone sarcophagus.
