I always thought it was ironic that the spider has this particular marking. Crosses represent both death and resurrection - in this case the prey only receives the former. I figured this was good for a combo BBBT and Arachtober. Happy Arachtobutt! She really displays the cross well here. It also really reads well in the thumbnail image.

The Heroes' Cross is a monument built between 1926 and 1928 on Caraiman Peak at an altitude of 2,291 m located in Romania, in the Bucegi Mountains of the Southern Carpathians. The name of the monument is "The Heroes' Cross", but it is popularly known as the "Cross on Caraiman".
The cross itself has a height of 28 metres (92 ft) and two arms of 7 metres (23 ft) each. The monument is the tallest summit cross in the world situated at such an altitude, as recognized in 2014 by Guinness World Records. The width of the vertical pole is 2 metres (7 ft), the horizontal arms have a length by spindle pole of 7 metres (23 ft), and a square cross section with sides of 2 metres (7 ft). The cross is made out of steel profiles and is mounted on a pedestal of concrete clad with stone 7.5 metres (25 ft) high. Inside the pedestal there is a room that originally housed the electric generator that powered the 120 light bulbs of 500 W each located on the perimeter of the cross" - Wiki

In geology, cross-bedding, also known as cross-stratification, is layering within a stratum and at an angle to the main bedding plane. The sedimentary structures which result are roughly horizontal units composed of inclined layers. The original depositional layering is tilted, such tilting not being the result of post-depositional deformation. Cross-beds or "sets" are the groups of inclined layers, which are known as cross-strata.
Cross-bedding forms during deposition on the inclined surfaces of bedforms such as ripples and dunes; it indicates that the depositional environment contained a flowing medium (typically water or wind). Examples of these bedforms are ripples, dunes, anti-dunes, sand waves, hummocks, bars, and delta slopes. Environments in which water movement is fast enough and deep enough to develop large-scale bed forms fall into three natural groupings: rivers, tide-dominated coastal and marine settings.
A duo of trees and a wayside cross at Munstergeleen. They area located at the end of a steep descending road.
Not sure how old all of these are, but I remember them all from early childhood on, and climbing that tree :)

Crazywell Cross is an ancient cross close to Crazywell Pool on Dartmoor. It probably was used as a marker for the Monks' Path from Buckfast Abbey to Tavistock Abbey. The head of the cross was found close to the north-east side of Crazywell pool by William Crossing. He believed that its original site was nearer to the track and it was fitted with a new shaft and set up there. In 1952 it was reported to the Dartmoor Preservation Association that the cross had been damaged again and it was repaired and the base made more secure. In the background you can see Burrator Reservoir.

La Mercat Cross (Croix de Marché) d'Édimbourg se dresse sur la place du Parlement à côté de la cathédrale Saint-Gilles. L'actuelle Mercat Cross, d'origine victorienne (1882), a été construite à proximité du site occupé par l'originale.
Comme ailleurs en Écosse, d'importantes annonces civiques ont été faites à la Mercat Cross. À Édimbourg, les proclamations royales et parlementaires qui ont affecté toute l'Écosse y ont été lues publiquement. La pratique d'annoncer les successions à la monarchie et la convocation d'élections générales est poursuivie à ce jour par les hérauts du Lord Lyon, roi des Armes.
La Croix est surmontée de la Licorne, animal emblématique de l'Ecosse. Les écussons représentent les armoiries royales de Grande-Bretagne, d'Écosse, d'Angleterre et d'Irlande, les armoiries d'Édimbourg, de Leith et du Canongate ainsi que celles de l'Université d'Edimbourg.
