(3.2) 2500 piece puzzle: MB Grand 1978, #9 Central Idaho.
The final bit wasn't too difficult, and this beautiful winter scene is now complete! I'm happy overall with the quality of the puzzle, despite a few pieces with light brown staining - probably glue got on the pieces during their trip from the press, down the conveyor belt and into the box. You only see it on a few light pieces. I'll try to remove it delicately with a swab and a weak solution of some kind.
I love the ambiguous nature of this photograph: full of mysteries, like the remainder of the large tree in the foreground, and the body of water in the center (probably a stream, rather than a thawing pond).
Completed in 21 hr., 54 mins. with no box reference. 2,501 total pieces (61 x 41 grid): 31.5 secs./piece; 114.2 pcs./hr. Difficulty rating: 3.2/10.
