Found this beautiful sight while jogging at the Barnes Common Nature Reserve after a Gym at Kew Bridge. One thing that was quite visible around was the way spider cobwebs were spun on the plants. Thick and quite meshy each one as its own little citadel...perhaps for just one lonely occupant in them but yet a citadel in effort...

A sight to observe and enjoy in that diversity....

I would also like to bring in mindfulness, aka, empathy, aka, Emotional Intelligence (EI) and view this effort from that tiny spider's position but with human grade EI. Just that the sheer amount of tenacity and labour from that tiny sized life into creating something like what is in front of you, strand by strand, surely brings out respect towards these arachnids

I'm uploading this for my 113 pictures in 2013 project, I took it in June for the project but didn't upload it at the time as thought it was not sharp enough, but as I'm running out of time and not able to get out and about much at the moment, needs must!

It might just have been some time since I last cleaned this door, but it, and the building beside it, are about to be demolished and replaced.

A day out for my Birthday with a friend today saw me pick her up at 9 this morning, I turned up to find her raving about all the cobwebs and how her phone wouldn't focus, I happened to have my camera in my handbag so grabbed a quick shot...lovely they are, so fascinating to see them like this.

A frosty Cobweb at the stables this morning.

Seen in an old barn, these cobwebs must have been there for years.

The Veluwe is a forest-rich ridge of hills (1100 km2) in the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands. The Veluwe features many different landscapes, including woodland, heath, some small lakes and Europe's largest sand drifts.

The Veluwe is the largest push moraine complex in the Netherlands, stretching 60 km from north to south, and reaching heights of up to 110 metres. The Veluwe was formed by the Saalian glacial during the Pleistocene epoch, some 200,000 years ago. Glaciers some 200 metres thick pushed the sand deposits in the Rhine and Maas Delta sideways, creating the hills which now form most of the Veluwe. Because the hills are made of sand, rain water disappears rapidly, and then it flows at a depth of tens of metres to the edges where it reaches the surface again.

Originally the Veluwe was surrounded by a string of swamps, heavily populated with game such as deer and wild boar because these areas offered rich vegetation to feed on. Since the 1990s many plans are underway, or have already been implemented, to restore these wetlands by blocking the drainage systems built by farmers during the last 150 years. This results in very dry heathland changing into wetland within a span of just a few hundred metres. The Wisselse Veen near the village of Epe, on the North East Veluwe, offers a good example of this.

Here's a single photo from this timelapse (the previous photo is a time stack of the whole timelapse) The exposure was a little different (darker) as this one one of the test photos I took before starting the lapse.

This poor spider leaves the web whenever I arrive, since I started experimenting with flash on its spider web - I did manage to catch it as it left

The entrance hall of the Overture Center for the Arts in Madison. The colors of the galleries are frequently changing, and I prefered the purple phase again.

The KBC Tower, Antwerp, known locally as Boerentoren was recently covered in netting whilst it was being cleaned, giving the appearance it was actually covered in cobwebs.....
