Flushed Out

A summer theme park in Sweden. You're catapulted in to this huge funnel. With the right amount of speed, they say you can circle about 4-5 laps before you inevitably are getting flushed down the hole.

Hahaha the way you captured him, where he has absolutely no control whatsoever, is hilarious indeed! Beyond the funny part, is this also very good looking. With the gorgeous shifts in blue and the almost ringlike patterns of lighter blues. The lighter parts reminds me of "batik" (tye dyeing), do you know what I mean? Anyway, a great shot!

Mats Lilja I know exactly what you mean by referring to the "batik" part of the image. I think it's created by circular movement you get while traveling in high speed.
I'm glad you like it Marcus!
Thanks!

Hoppas vi kan komma dit snart.
Ha det!

Very cool photo, it looks really dangerous! Where is it taken?

Mats Lilja Thank you Ralf! I really appreciate it.
I shot this at Skara sommarland, the area is gigantic. I remember my previous visit when I was 15 years old, I guess a lot has happened since then.

Cheers

Ralf Stelander Thanks! Looks like fun, I've never been there so I think I'm going to visit it!

A great metaphor for how many of us often feel about life! Nicely done.

Mats Lilja I guess you're right about that John. I didn't think of it that way, but now when you've mentioned it, I sure can. I tried it myself, and I can assure you that being flushed out this way was a hilarious experience.

Thanks John, love the metaphor.
Cheers!
