“Quinze”

This is a still from Amelie, one of my favourite films both because of its story about dreamers and its unusual red-and-green palette – perfectly illustrated by this shot of Paris looking down from Montmartre. I was reminded of this when planning my own recent trip to Paris, and I decided to revisit Montmartre myself; last time I was up there was 2003.

In the late afternoon in winter, the light actually can be red/amber there; this is my photo of the Eiffel Tower, with the sunset behind it.
