Covered Ramp and Paris Skyline, Elevated Promenade

4 October 2017 · Paris

A covered pedestrian ramp opens onto an elevated promenade in Paris, the dark canopy overhead framing the cityscape beyond. The geometric stone paving leads the eye outward past a loose crowd waiting mid-ground and a lone figure standing at the railing — the architecture orders the scene, and the city fills in everything else. Warm autumn light sits low over the rooftops of the northern suburbs.
