Village Street with Green Trees

A single blue shutter punctuates the pale cubic walls, dense green canopies arching close along the empty street.

A deep quiet settles into this little street. It opens between the simple, cubic houses, their warm whites and ochres resting against the deep greens overhead. See that touch of blue on a shutter? The walls feel so solid, painted in smooth, clean planes, while the leaves are just a breath of thicker paint letting the light through. The light itself comes in low from the side, pulling long shadows across the ground and spilling in dappled patches down the path. There’s no one here. And yet, with the open windows and potted plants, you feel life is just inside. The air carries that hushed warmth, and time slows along the empty street.
