Paris Seine Quay from Elevated Footbridge

4 October 2017 · Paris

From the curved railing of a footbridge above the Seine, the quay below arranges itself into clean geometry: staircase diagonals, a rectangular dock platform, scattered figures on foot and bicycle. The summer light catches the water and the tall poplars behind the promenade. Paris at eye level is a postcard; from above, it becomes a diagram of how the city actually moves — pedestrians, cyclists, and moored boats each following their own logic along the riverbank.
