Werner Herzog's documentary "The White Diamond" is not about a diamond but about an airship, one of the smallest ever built, designed to float above the canopy of equatorial rain forests. Every niche in the jungle is exploited by plants, animals and insects that have evolved to make a living there, and biologists believe that undiscovered species might live their entire lives 80 or 120 feet from the ground. Herzog introduces us to a London researcher named Graham Dorrington, who dreams of reaching out from his airship to study specimens on the ceiling of the jungle.
“A superb portrait of the dangers as well as euphoria that can come from chasing one's most treasured dreams.”

My photo is an actual white diamond; culet side up. This is a view that most people won't see.
If you allow your imagination to flow, it rather resembles the airship in the movie…
