Urban Tree Canopy in Autumn, Paris

5 October 2017 · Paris

A large deciduous tree fills the frame against a flat overcast sky on a Parisian residential street. The canopy is mid-turn — deep green still dominant, yellow leaves pushing through at the edges where the light reaches first. The white render of the building behind anchors the composition without competing; the tree does the work. Early autumn in the city reads like this: still full, already letting go.
