Even after more than 160 years of observations and modelling of solar prominences their true nature contains many open questions. In this work we argue that current 2D prominence fine structure models can help us to understand the puzzling connection between quasi-vertical fine structures often seen in quiescent prominences observed on the solar limb and horizontally aligned dark fibrils representing the fine structures of prominences observed in absorption against the solar disk (filaments).
