Montmartre in Winter

During the end of winter time, I enjoy walking in the streets of Paris looking for new shapes and structures.
Here, those three pictures represent, from my perspective, Montmartre. Its heights, its stairs, its old construction, its mysterious side ...



On the left, we can see stairs from the top and, at the center of this picture, a handrail which separates a demarcate. Its black color emphasizes it. On one side we can see some white walls and, on the other, some flowery walls.

At the center, we can admire an old monument which possesses, at its top, a Christian cross. The clouds give a mysterious aspect. The shapes too. There is a mix between oval, round and straight lines.

On the right, we see stairs from the bottom (in contradiction with the left one). Those straight lines take us away, attract us towards the unknown monument. It offers a mystical atmosphere, reinforced by those leafless trees.

All of those images transport us towards an unknown universe; a new part of the latter. The dark color of the sepia allows this aspect.

beautiful pictures; I feel that every part of a beautiful city wants to convey us towards feelings
of relaxation and happiness.
