Shot from a flying airplane, this footage by JoAnn Elam first shows a series of landscapes near the ocean, clouds, and the geometrical grids of American suburban neighborhoods (location unknown). Near the end, Elam turns her attention to the airport employees working on the tarmac while the plane is stationary. This element ends on a few unidentified blue images, the purpose of which remains unknown.
