« La composition doit être une de nos préoccupations constantes, mais au moment de photographier elle ne peut être qu’intuitive, car nous sommes aux prises avec des instants fugitifs où les rapports sont mouvants. »
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Argiope bruennichi
The spider builds a spiral orb web at dawn or dusk, commonly in long grass a little above ground level, taking it approximately an hour. The prominent zigzag shape called the stabilimentum, or web decoration, featured at the centre of the orb is of uncertain function, though it may be to attract insects.
When a prey item is first caught in the web, Argiope bruennichi will quickly immobilise its prey by wrapping it in silk. The prey is then bitten and then injected with a paralysing venom and a protein-dissolving enzyme. (Wikipedia)

Wespenspinne (auch Zebraspinne, Tigerspinne oder Seidenbandspinne) - von der Unterseite
Im Schnitt benötigt eine Wespenspinne 40 Minuten für den Netzbau. Die Höhe der Netznabe liegt üblicherweise zwischen 20 und 70 cm über dem Boden. Die Höhe ist angepasst an den Lebensraum der Beutetiere. Charakteristisch für das Netz der Wespenspinne ist ein häufig sehr kräftiges, zickzackförmiges Gespinstband in vertikaler Ausrichtung ober- und unterhalb der Nabe, das sogenannte Stabiliment. Inzwischen sind weitere Formen von Stabilimenten bekannt. Es gibt zum Beispiel kreisförmige Anordnungen der Zickzacklinien um die Netzmitte herum (besonders bei Jungspinnen), nur ein Gespinstband nach unten weisend oder gar ein fehlendes Stabiliment. Diese abnormalen oder fehlenden Stabilimente deuten darauf hin, dass die ursprünglich zugeschriebene stabilisierende Wirkung für das Netz nicht primär gilt. Auch die Vermutung, dass es sich ausschließlich um eine Art Tarnung des Netzes handelt, gilt als nicht gesichert.
Beobachtungen zeigen, dass der Aufbau des Stabiliments entweder durch chemische Kontaminierung des Lebensraumes beeinflusst wird, oder durch das Alter und Geschlecht der Wespenspinnen. Männliche Spinnen weben überwiegend, bis zum Erreichen ihrer Geschlechtsreife, die häufige senkrechte Zickzacklinie über und unter der Netznabe, aber auch zirkulär verlaufende Gespinstbänder um die Mittelnabe. Ab September, Oktober scheinen die männlichen Wespenspinnen meist nur noch einarmige, nach unten gerichtete Zickzacklinien zu weben. Weibliche Wespenspinnen legen auch überwiegend die bekannte vertikale Zickzacklinie an, aber auch das ganze Jahr über kreisförmige Stabilimente. Sogar Kombinationen aus einem zirkulären Stabiliment und vertikalen zickzackförmigen Gespinstbändern wurden beobachtet. (Wikipedia)

The first Monday of October is World Day of Bullying Prevention. This happens in schools, online, and even here on Flickr and SL. This post was inspired by Dax's song Joker.
So what's your excuse, what helps you sleep?
You leave a negative comment
Not knowing that what you sow, you will reap
I bet you smile when you post, thinking you're hurting me
But you see the way the brain works
You become what you speak
I need peace, but y'all can't offer that
I held my ground, I didn't sell my soul
I said f the fame, y'all can't take that offer back
F a shelf, you can't take me off the rack
All the fame is not worth a heart attack
You're insane, you're in pain, I can tell by what you're saying
But my bad, I forgot you were fragile
I forgot someone who doesn't even know me told you I'm an ahole
I forgot that I'm a villain
I forgot that I've always spread positivity, but you think I didn't
I forgot that hatred stems from people who hate their own existence
I forgot I'm better off alone
I forgot I care for everyone's happiness, but forget about my own
I forget I spend every waking second on my phone-
Come join my circus, I'm recruiting
I'm taking everyone who passes judgement
Bitch, that's including everyone who thinks it's so amusing
To put me down while I'm pursuing
The keyboard warriors that live online
Behind a screen that's just an illusion
Come, come, come, come join my circus

“It hurts to let go. Sometimes it seems the harder you try to hold on to something or someone the more it wants to get away. You feel like some kind of criminal for having felt, for having wanted. For having wanted to be wanted. It confuses you, because you think that your feelings were wrong and it makes you feel so small because it's so hard to keep it inside when you let it out and it doesn't come back. You're left so alone that you can't explain. Damn, there's nothing like that, is there? I've been there and you have too. You're nodding your head.”

There are landmarks every landscape photographer wants to shoot, and Mobius Arch is one of them. The arch simply looks gorgeous with the ragged peaks of the Eastern Sierra in the backdrop.
A quick online search will reveal that most Milky Way nightscapes from Mobius Arch are captured from a lower and more westerly position than the famous daylight or sunrise shots. From this perspective, the arch still looks nice, but the view of the mountains is blocked by the surrounding rocks, making the composition less impressive. Unfortunately, the Milky Way core doesn't align with the Sierras behind the arch.
I shot Mobius Arch in this composition during previous visits but wasn't impressed by the results. That's why I tried to do things differently during my last visit in April 2022.
For this image, I captured Mobius Arch from its back side. From this position, the Milky Way bow perfectly aligns with the completely different but still nice-looking arch.
To my surprise, I haven't been able to find any images of Mobius Arch from this side, even though I was convinced that it has been shot from every possible angle thousands of times. If I really found a new perspective of this famous place, I entitle myself to give it a new, secondary name. For obvious reasons, I call it 'Sisyphus Arch'.

On this, my second visit to Trevaylor Woods (Penzance), the light wasn't quite as nice as my first visit - devoid of any mist and more overcast / darker. But... I came away with this (while, crossing my fingers for better, "magical," conditions for future visits).
While wandering the woods I spotted these foreground moss-covered boulders (that looked like "rock trolls" to me!) basking in some diffused light. I then looked for a distant focal point - and used the gnarly tree, which stood out amongst the greenery.

Finally, we got our broadband connection installed in our new apartment today.
We have settled in pretty well in our new home here at Livingston. Although it feels very different living here compared to London, I guess we will learn how to appreciate quieter, more peaceful life here in Scotland.
Haven't taken any shots here in Scotland yet. We will shop for a car very soon. It will be much easier to go around Scotland with a car. Will catch up with your photostream really soon.
Cheers! :)
