Summer Day on Quai de Conti

Houseboats and sailing barges along the Quai de Conti on a summer day, seen from above, with the Pont des Arts and the Louvre beyond the river. Guk uses the high viewpoint to lead you along the quay, across the water and onto the bridge. The architecture is warm pink and apricot, the boats deep navy with small red and yellow touches, the river clear blue. People strolling along the embankment make it feel like an ordinary, happy day in Paris. A substantial oil.
