The film, Bagdad Café, has a haunting theme. The story takes place in the desert. This is not the desert. But the theme works.

I wasn’t familiar with the film, which I found out about at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagdad_Cafe.
The article explains that “Calling You” was the movie’s main song, which was nominated for an Oscar in 1989. And now it called to you.

It was a brilliant movie. I love how the light waves gradually fade into the horizon and the dark but inviting sky…

It certainly is. The Muse and I keep a list of movies with heart. This one is near the top of the list. Thank you very much for the compliment on the picture. I think the light on the horizon gives the viewer something encouraging to focus on.h
