  Thank you all very much; a very nice surprise today! Joannie - I got there moments before opening, and came up to this level first (while most of the folks still were milling around the lower level.)

  This is beautiful, Christopher. Obviously you were able to get in outside visiting hours. I've only been once, and the only shots I have with no people are the ceiling shots! This is a wonderful image. Very well done.

Pat - surprisingly, no -- I went in right at opening time (probably 20th in line to get in), but I did rush straight up here to this level, while most of the initial crowds were still on the lower level. (There is actually one person in the image--a staff member, over against the far right wall, talking to a visitor - I waited until a column obscured the visitor :)
