@ObsidianUrbex Wow, getting Heart of Glass vibes. Great shot!
@fatkat
Oh I'm not sure what that is, so will have to look into it. Happy to hear you enjoyed the photo 🙏
@ObsidianUrbex It's a Werner Herzog movie. One of his fiction pieces sans Kinski. It's about a German village's special glass and how it's sort of tied to the town. Most of the cast is hypnotized for their parts except for a seer character. Weird performances. Interesting movie.
