Well, the "pretty stuff" was what C called it, the finishing touches that would not go on until the end. Well, it is the end...
 First, here's the wind deflector that got put up in front of the connecting link just before dedication. |
 A closer look. Assembly of this took up a bunch of space in the science lab. |

Moving east, here's the new main entrance with flags flying. |
 A closer view. Note the fine finials atop the flagpoles. |
 While we're here, let's take a look at some of the landscaping...a lot of it was done in preparation for the dedication, or winter, or whatever... |

 Another view of the landscaping at this upwind corner of the station... |
 ...and another. The red flags are monitoring points for the winter. |

Back behind the station, here's where the siding crew left off at the end of summer--the west side of B1. |
 Turning around, here's the Ceremonial Pole on the other side of the connecting link. |
 A more distant view of the back of the wings. |
 Looking the other way at Cryo, and the VFM to the left (and in front) of it. The Vehicle Fueling Module is the new filling station for heavy equipment...just now getting commissioned. This will replace the old fueling point at the end of what is now the Logistics Arch. |
