Plunge with umbrellas (part II)

the photo on the right kind of reminds me of a Madonna somersaulting during the Super Bowl

London Plunge

Below, you'll find a very interesting article that seems to point to a few items we have been following here at Acceleration.

The project is entitled, Plunge, which can not only mean a loss of market value (ie. The market plunge) but an immersion or sinking in water -  like a drowning.


The marker is a highlight to show the possible waterline of a flood 1000 years from now.


There are 3 such markers up in London. 

One blue LED marker has been placed upon the Duke of York's phallic column at -where else- Waterloo Place.  Waterloo reminds of the Battle of Waterloo - the fall of the mighty Napoleon.

When we think of Dukes, we of course think of William.

Another one is at Paternoster Square - home of the London Stock Exchange, appropriately enough.

We should all wonder what the 3 markers truly signal...
