4. This photograph is of a sunrise in Paris, taken on the steps of Sacre-Coeur. The photograph just looks sleepy, the buildings covered in a darker blue as the sky starts getting brighter, here with pinks and purples as they slowly seep into the city. There is also a morning haze, making the colors of the sunrise more muted and pastel, adding to the “sleepy” factor.
In this sunrise picture, the sun has not even shown itself yet, making this a photograph of the very cusp of a sunrise. It’s like the city of Paris is slowly waking up out of it’s slumber, but it’s not quite ready yet and trying to enjoy the darkness before it has to greet the day.
I just think that Paris itself is a very romantic city and this is a romantic sunrise, reminiscent of French impressionist paintings with hazy brushstrokes of muted colors with just a splash of pink or violet. It’s like a Monet painting come to life in a way.
