...and here is the final image (see yesterday for more info).

The object itself has been mentioned on my photoblog, but that's all I'll say about it.

(This is the earliest I've ever posted a blip for a day - 12:37am!)

(of course, posting so early I quickly came to regret it - here is my alternate blip, still taken before noon. I think it would be unfair to change my image to something completely different, so I'll do it this way - but this picture is better and represents friendship.)
