Flickr Fest and a Splendid Splendour Lineup

I've been having a Flickr Fest over the past couple of days. I've discovered how much more addictive it can be when you start joining groups and contributing to pools. I've really taken a liking to the Judgement Day group because they've given me some really valuable and useful feedback on a few of my photos. Not only that but there are some photos in there which are just wonderful beyond description1. There is also some wonderful street art exposed to the world via Flickr.
