Here is a more final rendering, although the string of lights hanging on the bar
did not come out as I expected them to, so I'll probably end up doing some more
experiments to get them right and then render again.  I may do a rendering with
focal blur too, but given that this took almost 4 days without any blur, that
may have to wait until I'm away from my computer for at least a week.
