My prize souvenir from Kraków

I bought this delightful szopka (Christmas crib) from the shop at the museum that was holding the szopki exhibit from the 2012 festival. I liked this one as it appeared well made plus it lights up and plays a Christmas carol ;-). It's also a reasonable size (about one foot high) so isn't as likely to get damaged in transit as the major (meter high) pieces. On the back of it is noted that it was entered into the December 2011 szopki competition in Kraków's main square.

I never intended this to be a high ISO picture, but unbeknownst to me the camera set itself to Auto ISO sensitivity. It has changed its own settings with white balance as well. I sure don't know how this happens, but it's a bit annoying.
