Silhouette of Leaping Dancer Over Zaragoza

Early autumn light falls through storm-washed clouds as a ballerina leaps high above the stone plazas of Zaragoza. Her dark silhouette stands rigid against the bright horizon, arms extended in perfect geometric lines. The sky above holds a startling, impossible band of the Milky Way glowing clearly in the blue daylight. Sunlight glints off wet cobblestones and the edges of nearby rooftops. Dust motes hang suspended in the air, caught in the sudden stillness after the rain. The dancer's legs stretch forward, creating a sharp line that cuts across the arch of the galaxy. Shadows from the ancient architecture stretch long and thin across the wet ground.
