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.

By the way, there used to be a Bagdad in the northern suburbs of Austin:

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
