Indeed. If I'm remembering rightly it featured heavily in Koyaanisqatsi.

And you can’t get better than that.

I've got the boxed set, and play it quite often as background music/images to unwind to ... the other 2 in the series are good, but Koyaanisqatsi is my fave.

The first in particular I find tremendously relaxing ... a combination of Philip Glass' somewhat odd soundtrack and the amazing images ... BTW the box set wasn't all that expensive on DVD the last time I looked. I think a lot of people have forgotten about the films.

<googles>

Yeah Amazon have the Koyaanisqatsi and Powaqqatsi set on DVD for £5.49. Worth every penny IMHO, and then some. Still scores 8.2 on IMDB, which is remarkable considering how "alternative" it was, and indeed still is.

He and his family lived at the light.
There's a national park all around it.

This is my favorite outhouse to view from the water.

This one doesn't have a light for some reason though.

That's special... run into Larry Craig there much... I here he likes 'seafood'

Here's where I was just fishing... on a sweltering day it's a 20 minute walk. I'm thinking of doing my walk before sundown tonight, If I do I;ll show you the view from from a block away it's a little more 'fishing community' but it's majorly postcard looking...
