The card measures 16 thousands of an inch, and you can see the print on backside shadow through with enough light so it is thin, Also the card is thinly used only a few people have it, This was a thinly printed in the number of cards made.
....Of the Peak District. One from a few years back but just re-edited as I'm housebound looking after the pup :)
a thin layer of a saturated solution {Natrium Tiosulfate) dries on a glass dish forming these crystals. The spectral colors appear when seen under polarized light.
I always thought Dino's were extinct !
Now, however, a "Maximus Rex" has entered the thin ice of diplomacy, hopefully it will become good for ALL.
Ich dachte immer Dino´s sind ausgestorben !
Jetzt hat aber ein "Maximus Rex" das dünne Eis der Diplomatie betreten, hoffentlich geht das für ALLE gut.

Updated Nik filters to the Nik Collection V3 this week and I had a slow day today - New tools like new glass inspire you to experiment ... I wondered thru images from the last year or so and found a couple that I'm quite fond of and looked at them with new eyes so to speak. Perspective Efex is a new addition to Nik filters and from what I've found using so far it's my new favourite thing.
Even Popular Cove on Watson Lake fell victim to the overnight cold as it displayed a layer of Thin Ice this morning at sunrise.
After a big freeze there is a short period when there is a shallow reflective layer of meltwater on top of the ice which creates some interesting wildlife photo-opportunities. I took this at Newmillerdam near Wakefield this afternoon as the sun was setting. The gull was in shadow but the reflection was from the sunny side of the lake, creating an interesting combination.
This is a young Black-headed Gull in its first winter plumage (hatched last summer). Small gulls like Black-headed don't take long to reach adult plumage and by next winter it will be indistinguishable from adults. Large gulls like Herring Gull are still distinguishable from adults in their fourth winter.

**PROMPT CINÉMATOGRAPHIQUE ULTRA DÉTAILLÉ (FR)**
Un gigantesque minotaure anthropomorphe surgit d’un ancien labyrinthe de pierre humide, sa masse musculaire luisante de sueur et d’eau stagnante. Sa tête bovine imposante, aux cornes épaisses et asymétriques, est légèrement inclinée vers l’avant dans une posture de traque prédatrice. Ses yeux ambrés brillent d’une lueur menaçante dans la pénombre. Chaque pas écrase les flaques sur le sol pavé, projetant des gouttelettes dans l’air chargé de brume.
À l’arrière-plan, un guerrier héroïque inspiré de la Grèce antique — cape rouge sombre flottant dans un courant d’air souterrain — se tient en haut de quelques marches de pierre usées. Il tient une épée courte à la main droite, lame orientée vers le bas dans une posture tendue mais contrôlée. Son armure de bronze patiné capte la lumière vacillante des torches murales.
**ENVIRONNEMENT & DÉCOR :**
Le labyrinthe est ancien, massif, oppressant, construit en blocs de pierre cyclopéens couverts de mousse humide et de traces d’érosion. Des torches fixées aux murs diffusent une lumière chaude orangée qui contraste fortement avec les ombres froides bleutées de la profondeur. Une légère brume au ras du sol ajoute de la profondeur atmosphérique. Le sol est irrégulier, mouillé, réfléchissant la lumière du feu en reflets dorés.
**ÉCLAIRAGE (STYLE CINÉMA ÉPIQUE) :**
— Key light chaude provenant des torches latérales
— Rim light froide bleutée détachant la silhouette du minotaure
— Volumetric lighting visible dans la fumée

**CAMÉRA & COMPOSITION :**
— Plan large dramatique (wide cinematic shot)
— Angle légèrement en contre-plongée pour accentuer la taille du minotaure
— Profondeur de champ moyenne, arrière-plan légèrement flou
— Composition en triangle entre le monstre, le héros et les torches
— Perspective immersive au ras du sol avec éclaboussures nettes au premier plan
**STYLE VISUEL :**
— Ultra-réaliste, hyper détaillé
— Dark fantasy mythologique

— Atmosphère lourde, humide, dramatique
**AMBiance & ÉMOTION :**
Tension maximale juste avant l’affrontement final. Sensation de danger imminent, souffle retenu, moment suspendu dans le temps. Le monstre avance lentement tandis que le héros reste immobile mais déterminé.
**PARAMÈTRES SUGGÉRÉS :**
— aspect ratio 16:9

**ULTRA-DETAILED CINEMATIC PROMPT (EN)**
A gigantic anthropomorphic minotaur emerges from an ancient, damp stone labyrinth, its massive muscular body glistening with sweat and stagnant water. Its imposing bovine head, crowned with thick asymmetrical horns, tilts slightly forward in a predatory stalking posture. Its amber eyes glow menacingly in the darkness. Each heavy step crushes the puddles on the cobblestone floor, sending droplets scattering through the mist-filled air.
In the background, a heroic warrior inspired by Ancient Greece — dark red cape flowing in the underground draft — stands at the top of a few worn stone steps. He holds a short sword in his right hand, blade angled downward in a tense yet controlled stance. His weathered bronze armor catches the flickering light of the wall torches.
**ENVIRONMENT & SETTING:**
The labyrinth is ancient, massive, and oppressive, built from cyclopean stone blocks covered with damp moss and erosion marks. Wall-mounted torches cast a warm orange glow that strongly contrasts with the cold bluish shadows of the depths. A thin ground fog adds atmospheric depth. The uneven wet floor reflects the firelight in golden highlights.
**LIGHTING (EPIC CINEMA STYLE):**
— Warm key light from the side torches
— Cool bluish rim light separating the minotaur’s silhouette
— Visible volumetric lighting in the smoke
— Strong chiaroscuro contrast (cinematic Caravaggio style)
— Specular highlights on wet skin and bronze armor
**CAMERA & COMPOSITION:**
— Dramatic wide cinematic shot
— Slight low-angle perspective to emphasize the minotaur’s scale
— Medium depth of field, slightly blurred background
— Triangular composition between the monster, the hero, and the torches
— Immersive ground-level perspective with sharp foreground splashes
**VISUAL STYLE:**
— Ultra-realistic, hyper-detailed
— Mythological dark fantasy
— 8K surface textures
— Subtle cinematic film grain
— Color palette: burnt amber, midnight blue, antique bronze
— Heavy, humid, dramatic atmosphere
**MOOD & EMOTION:**
Maximum tension just before the final confrontation. A sense of imminent danger, breath-holding suspense, time frozen in a decisive moment. The monster advances slowly while the hero remains still but determined.
**SUGGESTED PARAMETERS :**
— aspect ratio 16:9
— ultra detailed
— cinematic lighting
— volumetric fog
— dramatic shadows
— sharp focus
— photorealistic
— epic dark fantasy
— 8k texture
— high dynamic range

...... another image seen on thin, transparent ice at the edge of the reservoir. It's composed of bits of vegetation, stones, and a pocket of air beneath the ice, and reflections on its surface. The bits of vibrant red are, I think, reflections of my red gloves as I hovered precariously close to the surface to take the picture .....

I like snow, ice, cold. I hope that this winter offers a lot of all of these. It's time. Gray weather has already become oppressive. Only in really early hours it is possible to sense the cold season coming closer.
