A touching scene: two women climb the snow-covered stairs of Montmartre in the early morning, while the streetlamps are still lit. At the top of the steps, two other silhouettes can be made out, seemingly about to descend. The funicular is likely not yet in operation, but the station—situated right next to the staircase—casts a light that guides the women on their way. Whether they are returning home after a night’s work or heading to a café to prepare for the morning shift, the blurred yet recognizable outline of the Sacré-Cœur Basilica’s dome looms between two trees, and above the station, offering them faith and hope for an untroubled ascent. ~VVVVV++++~
