Favourite things

Instead of listing what I like and why (as if anyone actually cares) I thought it would be more cryptic and fun just to have a photo-montage of my favourite things. I had the idea whilst walking home after a night out in Bristol. Every image on this page is linked to a higher quality full- size version, although that fact seems to have escaped those responsible for other web sites which link directly to the thumbnail versions (i.e. bandwidth theft).
