Fata Morgana Fan Club

Fans of a certain optic phenomenon will want to check out FATA MORGANA, a film by "blog" "fave" Werner Herzog. One of the mirages captured on film by Herzog, according to the book I'm reading right now, is a line of people waiting on a bus. In the Sahara Desert! But they're not really there! That's why they're a Fata Morgana! Crazy! Those Fata Morganas are crazy, I tell you! I'm going to give you the name of the book: PHANTASMAGORIA: SPIRIT VISIONS, METAPHORS, AND MEDIA INTO THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY, by Marina Warner. Seems like I should be fair and name it, despite my vow, as I'm drawing on it as a resource for the "blog."
