Koyaanisqatsi

Inspired by Summertime Blues. Was thinking already yesterday I should be watching the filem (irish for film :) one of the days. So far I have seen it just once this year. normally I get to four of five times. which multiplied by 25 years means I have seen the movie ca. 100 times. Still get to discover new scenes...
