Award Tour II

A big thanks to Owen at the Magic Lantern Show for nominating Art of the City for its second Kreativ Blogger award.

I'm new to a few and they aren't all photography blogs but I hope you appreciate them all the same. Blog-owners, you can all download the full-size logo for your sites here.
