Paris Apartment Facades Behind Autumn Trees

5 October 2017 · Paris

A row of Haussmann-era apartment buildings seen through a dense autumn canopy in Paris. The overcast sky flattens the light into a single grey plane, pressing down on the cream facades and deep red shutters below. Trees and garden hedge hold the foreground, pushing the architecture back — present but subordinate to the heavy air between them. Paris rooftops with their terracotta chimney stacks punctuate the top edge, barely visible through the leaves.
