4 October 2017 · Paris

The Promenade Plantée curves away through early autumn, its steel railing pulling the eye toward a canopy that hasn't fully decided to turn. A figure sits at the edge of the path, still against the drift of fallen leaves below. The elevated walkway holds the city at a distance — up here, Paris reads as trees first, architecture second.
