    A low-angle upward shot captures a military attack helicopter in silhouette flying across a dramatic blue sky filled with wispy cirrus clouds. The perspective is taken from ground level beneath tree canopies visible in the lower left corner. The helicopter's distinctive tandem-seat, narrow-fuselage profile is consistent with an attack helicopter design such as an AH-64 Apache.
