Earth zoom out

Dolores, a 78-year-old white woman who is a competitive bodybuilder: very muscular, defined shoulders and arms, deep bronze tan, silver buzz cut, strong jaw, laugh lines, big gold hoop earrings, wearing a sparkly gold sequinned posing bikini under an open white terry-cloth robe. Taking a selfie at arm's length on a rooftop in the city at golden hour, flexing one bicep and grinning, water towers behind her, shot from just above as if from a drone. Dolores flexes into the camera, then the camera rockets straight up away from her in one continuous fast pull: the rooftop, the block, the whole city, the coastline, clouds, the curve of the Earth, until the planet hangs in space.
