This image was created on the sublime hilltop of Montmartre. A place teeming with grandeur and magnificence, with the Sacre Coeur Basilica perched on top of the hill that yields a panoramic view of the historic city of Paris.
The sights on these hills are timeless and have enthralled tourists and locals alike for generations. While beautiful, I felt a lack of novelty with every frame I shot under the rising sun of a cold autumn morning. So I stopped and observed as life unfolded around me as the morning crept in…and then I saw her: a fellow photographer, a fellow dreamer, surveying and admiring the same scene as I was a few moments ago. A glorious aura gracing her stoic frame under the golden light. And this sight was the most breathtaking and unique of all that I had witnessed that morning.
In those few minutes, I learned a valuable life lesson. Sometimes the most beautiful and comforting of things can be found in the simplest of things within your reach; in those tiny delights that we often neglect in our tunnel-visioned pursuit of glory.
