The Jonah's experience

I have found this image somewhere in the mess on my desktop and it perfectly depicts how we feel at the moment - like I was being sucked into the vortex!

Image for today's post comes from a beautiful installation by Pipilotti Rist (I luuuuuv this woman) shown at the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh this summer, that I have sneakily taken on my old Olympus camera with Simon being lit just enough to be glimpsed in the botton of the frame!
