Eiffel Tower from the Seine, Paris

28 May 2022 · Paris

The Eiffel Tower rises above the tree-lined Quai Branly, centred in the frame with the Seine running wide and dark in the foreground. Shot from the river on a clear summer afternoon, the composition lets the water and the promenade do the spatial work — the tower earns its place in the skyline rather than filling the frame by default. Paris at its most plainly stated, which turns out to be enough.
