Paris RER Platform Under Overcast Sky

3 October 2017 · Paris

A Paris RER station caught between the city and the railway — the platform canopy cuts a hard diagonal across the frame while catenary wires fan outward overhead. Overcast light flattens the shadows and strips the scene back to its geometry: parallel tracks, converging rooflines, a Haussmann-era building rising behind the trees. The platform does what platforms do — it holds people in suspension, briefly, between one place and the next.
