Wave Cloud Formation Over Paris Residential Skyline

4 October 2017 · Paris

A lenticular wave cloud sweeps across the Paris sky in a single arcing band, dominating the frame from edge to edge. Below it, autumn trees in late colour and a cream-rendered residential building hold the lower third — grounding the composition without competing for attention. La Défense glints faintly between the canopy and the rooftop terrace, a reminder that the city continues well beyond this quiet street-level view. The cloud does the work; everything else is context.
