My highlight? Capacitor. I couldn't photograph it (they had an attendant checking no-one impaled themselves on the spines) but the Guardian did (there are some other pieces there, too). I also liked the sculpture on the bridge, though I did rather try Tim's patience repeatedly attempting to get just enough fill-flash to appropriately illuminate his cock. I think I did OK though:
Thank you antony, you are:
