La Défense Skyline from Boulevard de Neuilly, Paris

4 October 2017 · Paris

A tree-lined promenade in Neuilly-sur-Seine frames the La Défense skyline on a clear autumn afternoon. Red and green trees flank a pedestrian boulevard where people sit on benches beside a fountain, the Grande Arche visible among the towers in the middle distance. The park holds the scale of the city in check — close enough to feel the weight of the skyline, wide enough to breathe under a pale blue sky streaked with cirrus.
