As I walked passed the Vestibule to the Cellar earlier this afternoon, I noticed the lighting was rather peculiar in that one particular room of the Mansion.
Now, the Vestibule isn’t one of the larger rooms in the place, and it really just serves as a gateway between the Mansion main and the down-belows of the Cellar, the Catacombs, the Middle Place, and the Lava River and the Gateway to Hell, but there is a window in there, and, as such, the lighting should be quite similar to the other rooms on that wing of the Mansion.
Obviously, the windows in this place have amazing views, and, sometimes, they aren’t the same as they usually are.
I’ve looked out of this window a few times and found myself on a beach, or in a desert, or occasionally overlooking the Courtyard outside. I can actually just make out the trees in the Grinds at the back, but they’re way over in the distance.
Anyway, this afternoon, I looked out because of the odd lighting, only to see that that side of the Mansion had shifted again. Gone were the Rolls and Bentleys in the Courtyard (they actually weren’t there to start off with – I just added that for dramatic effect!), and in their place was a steamy jungle.
A sweltering scene that caused the windows to steam.
The Vestibule sometimes gets quite warm from the sun anyway, even in winter – although sometimes I think it may be due to the lava flow below… but not today. There was a jungle out there!
It was far too warm to stay in the Vestibule, so I left things as they were, and went to the Living Room. I glanced out of the window there, and everything was as it should be. The Grinds were in their normal place. In the distance I could see the Lake, and the Plesiosaur was sunbathing once again. And, although I may have been mistaken, I’m sure a couple of deer frolicked across the lawn.
Something tells me that Spring has sprung! Yippee!
