Monochrome Paris from the Orsay Clock Overlook

From inside the ornate circular window of the Musée d'Orsay's grand clock, a monochrome Paris panorama unfolds: the Seine winds through the city, bridges glimmer with rain-kissed reflections, rooftops and silhouettes stretch toward a distant skyline featuring the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame in soft focus. The clock's ironwork frames the scene in the foreground, with visible gears and hands frozen at around 7:20. Rendered in high-contrast black and white with film grain, dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, and exquisite architectural detail; photorealistic, cinematic, and richly atmospheric.
