Purple-Leaved Tree and Iron Gate, Paris Garden

5 October 2017 · Paris

A copper-toned ornamental tree dominates a Paris garden path in autumn, its dark foliage canopy spilling over the pavement and pressing against a wrought-iron gate. The overcast sky pulls the colour from the surrounding green trees and throws the purple-leafed form into sharp relief — the scene is dense with texture, yet the narrow path through the gate keeps it open. Urban edges and garden quiet, held in one frame.
