FORCED MATE IN 16

A position arose in one of my games against the computer programme, which leads to a forced mate in 16 moves  for the black pieces.

Needless to say, I did not see it during the game, though I still won. See if you can visualise the forced mate in 16. The position is below, it is black to play
