Meet Mr Polar, January's pin up.
He was absolutely stunning and didn't he know it as he circled our small vessel, occasionally stopping to sniff the air with all these new smells, but for once the light was just spot on IMHO lighting the eye for once. Normally they are just as black as coal, but with the awesome light it just lit them up, the eye is as shot, but you also see that fantastic coat, which is basically hollow quills, as their skin is black.
The dilemma is now what to post on the 1000th thread, thanks to someone who highlight this point.
Thanks to those who posted or viewed on the last posting.
