Autumn Trees Over a Paris Stone Parapet

4 October 2017 · Paris

A stone parapet cuts across the foreground, flat and weathered, while autumn trees push green and gold above it toward a clear Paris sky. Haussmann rooftops and chimney pots surface between the branches — present, but not insisting on themselves. The fallen leaves banked along the top of the wall do the quieter work: they mark the season more precisely than the architecture does.
