Please don't take my Sunshine away

So as promised or warned, a pet health update. The news is grim but not the worst it could be, today.

( Please consider whether you're ready to face it. )

Let's get through the rest of the train ride, now, at Crossroads Village and then get to some spectacle.

There, now I'm on the right settings! Here's another train illumination, this one with a watering station ready for it.

---

The exposure was right but the window was fogging over right over top of the Christmas Dragon. We had a washcloth to wipe the fog off the window, and did several times over, but it's somehow never enough.

---

And the train ride's done! Here's some light fixtures around the village, such as a Conestoga wagon.

Different angle on the same illumination so that you get more of the reflections on the muddy snow and ice.

---

And ooh, what's this? The Vejur probe expanding in a sphere of light energy as it merges with Decker and the Robot Ilia to transcend our dimension?

---

So this is the most attention-getting new display: a great ornament illumination, big enough that you can walk inside it. The curves on either side that look vaguely like a mouth are the open 'doors', big enough for a person to walk through. You can maybe see someone behind the ornament taking a picture and they're not so far behind as to make perspective that fibs to you.

Trivia: High seas the night before the final launch of the space shuttle Challenger forced the ships which would have recovered the Solid Rocket Boosters away from the recovery zone, risking the loss of the boosters.
