Oblivion is Good

Can anyone name this airport.? It has one of my favourite ceilings..

As we arrived and walked from the car park to Departures the first raindrops began to fall.. Midflight it had descended into a serious storm. 'DING'.. the seatbelts signs were back on.. Moments later the stewardesses stopped selling overpriced, bland shite we don't need and buckled themselves in, fake smiles of anguish cracking their foundation filled faces.. Then the pilot or co-pilot left the cockpit and retired to the WC.. The popdown screen showed that we had seriously detoured and were heading North.. I looked at Cryno and said, 'this doesn't look good' within minutes we were being hammered by some serious bouncy-bouce. The co-pilot sounded anxious and breathless as he told us of the serious turbulence and the need to detour with the plane facing 150 milesperhour winds and heavy rainstorms.. My brave face was crumbling as the aeroplane plummetted sharply downwards my stomach went onto a rapid journey upto my brain and then down to my ankles.. Cryno was petrified , her eyes wide and wild, I tried to reassure her with confident, pseudo relaxed statements but my tough guy act was wearing thin, as another wave of hard turbulence battered the seemingly flimsy, tin machine I finally gave up the ghost, abject terror etched on my face, at least my fear was silent unlike some of the other softies on the aircraft and Poppy.. well .. she just slept through it all, safe and sound and trusting. Oblivion is good.. Yes.. it sure is.. Oblivion is very good..
