Zwei Bilder werden durch einen geschwungenen Bogen, dem CENA-Bogen, voneinander optisch getrennt. Auf dem linken Bild fliegt ein Flugzeug am Himmel über eine Stadtlandschaft. Am linken Bildrand ragt ein gläsernes Hochhaus in den Himmel, während rechts grüne Baumkronen den Blick einrahmen. Der Himmel ist klar und blau, wodurch das Flugzeug deutlich sichtbar ist.
