The quay transformed by water

Montebello Quay, 1910 Floods spreads pale reflections across a broad foreground beneath buildings and a line of bare trees. The flooded surface changes the usual relationship between street and river. Repeated vertical trunks and façades make the rippling water particularly noticeable within the otherwise stable city setting.

A waterway between buildings

The Bièvre between Rue Pascal and Rue Broca looks down a narrow channel enclosed by walls and closely spaced houses. A small bridge crosses the middle distance. Dark water and shadowed banks draw the eye inward, giving this everyday corner a more intimate scale than the open views beside the Seine.

Snow along the enclosed channel

View of the Bièvre, Gobelins Alley, Snow Effect uses pale snow to mark the edges of dark buildings and water. The narrow perspective makes the channel a clear route through the image. Compare the different Bièvre views to see how weather changes the same basic arrangement of walls, banks and reflections.
