Paris

Taking in the scenery 

I can’t fathom whether to feel lonely or calm and collected

Paris

A place where there should be love in the air 

And a romantic atmosphere 


Paris 

A big city filled with many people

A city filled with the scents of classic coffee

Chocolate pastries and sandwiches to full bistro meals


This highly crafted surface of paint allows us to see

The careful perspectives being absorbed 

With their own thoughts 


Umbrells in the air along with the wintery moist afternoon air 

Fashion fills the streets

Fashion which is the landmark and leading center of france

Waist coats.

Long coats.

Top hat.

Bowties. 

And veils might of been the first things you seen

 

For me? 

Was the spaces between the souls and the atmosphere filled with loneliness 


The author's comments:

I was trying to show the many differet perspectives a person can have about Paris but also being the person who lives in Paris. There are many expectations we can have for a place seen through social media and vacations but some expectations arent always met, dream places can also be seen differently and not always sunshine and rainbows. 

 

I could not find the correct painting by Gustave Caillebotte "paris street"
