Draping the World in Purple

I'm still in shock about the loss of Prince, as are many of his fans.  Last night, I stopped by briefly at the big dance party in Minneapolis.  It was wonderful to see so many people celebrating his life.

Here are some of the salutes he received from around the world:

My favorite international one so far is from Scotland and Edinburgh Castle.

London

Glasgow

Leeds

Paris

Australia, Sydney and Melbourne

Canada; Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver

Tokyo

And in the USA, Baltimore

Boston and Massachusetts

Chicago

Cincinnati

Cleveland (love the skyscraper)

Dallas

Denver

Hollywood

Indianapolis

Las Vegas

Los Angeles

Miami

Milwaukee

New Orleans

New York City

Niagara Falls (I think the really purple one is edited)

Orlando

Pittsburgh

Portland, OR

San Diego

San Francisco

Seattle

Spokane

Washington DC

Then it's onto Minnesota.  First, Paisley Park, and what I swear is not a edited photo.  This rainbow was on the backside of a thunderstorm which came through that afternoon.

A foggy Duluth

The Minnesota State Fairgrounds

St. Paul

At the Mumford and Sons concert at the Xcel Energy Center

First Avenue in Minneapolis

Minneapolis...

Listen to his music and enjoy him!  Thats what Prince really was all about; the music.  I will enjoy it, sadly.  Here are two final images for you.  First, from the Minneapolis Skyway, his words:

And finally, my favorite picture of him, taken over by Orchestra Hall.  The mural is still there.  It is so appropriate...

Thank you Prince.
