In a moment of uncanny timing, a lone bird soars above the Eiffel Tower, perfectly framed in the open Parisian sky. Below, the esplanade buzzes with life—tourists, photographers, locals—each drawn to the monument’s pull. This photograph captures two kinds of movement: the eternal flow of people, and the sudden grace of flight. A brief alignment of chance and symmetry, anchored by the city’s most iconic silhouette.
