A spider web is a true marvel of nature. The animals connect several widely spaced points with thin, elastic silk threads.

The flying thread that results from this procedure consists of a bundle of 50 to 60 individual threads, each of which is just 250 nanometers thick. That's 200 times thinner than a human hair. Due to its special structure, even a small gust of wind is enough to set the flying thread in motion. With the first movements, the spider releases more and more thread from its spinnerets, until the flying thread gets stuck somewhere. However, a spider cannot influence the direction in which the flying thread is carried, it depends solely on the wind direction.

The spider proceeds systematically and routinely when setting up the entire orb network. The construction of a new cycle network takes between 20 and 30 minutes, depending on the size. The flying thread of a horned garden spider can be up to 50 centimeters long. Since spiders are mostly loners and cannibalistic catch and eat their own kind, they are usually careful not to get in the way of other webs and spiders when stretching a new web.However, there are exceptions, such as what is probably the largest spider web in the world discovered by researchers in September 2018. It wasn't a single one, but a 300-meter stretch of coast in the Greek lagoon city of Etolikos was completely enshrouded in spider webs. A large number of favorable conditions had prompted the so-called Strecker spiders to create this unusual web network.

 

By the way: Researchers discovered what is probably the largest web ever made by a spider in Madagascar in 2009. Caerostris darwini ("Darwin's bark spider"), which is only 20 millimeters in size, builds webs that reach across rivers. The bridge thread can reach a length of up to 25 meters.

One day flower / Flor de un dia

 

El brote se abre hacia el mediodía. Al día siguiente, a primera hora de la tarde, la flor cae de la planta.

 

The bud opens about midday. The following day in the early afternoon the blossom falls from the plant.

 

Il bocciolo si apre verso mezzogiorno. Il giorno seguente nel primo pomeriggio il fiore cade dalla pianta.

 

Le bourgeon s'ouvre vers midi. Le lendemain, en début d'après-midi, la fleur tombe de la plante.

 

O botão abre por volta do meio-dia. No dia seguinte, no início da tarde, a flor cai da planta.

 

Die Knospe öffnet sich gegen Mittag. Am nächsten Tag am frühen Nachmittag fällt die Blüte von der Pflanze.

The 'Marvel' is returning home to Blackwattle Bay in Sydney, having just escorted a giant cargo vessel out of Sydney harbour.

So I recently caught up with Deadpool comics and one of the things that stood out to me was the new Deadpool 2099. I really like the design so I knew that I had to make this figure.

 

(the eyes are actually stuck out to mimic the lenses, but you can't really tell that in this photo)

 

So, let me know what you think of this figure and the character as well. :D

The 'Marvel' tugboat on Sydney Harbour.

Returning to port after having escorted a cruise ship out to sea.

 

Photographed from Upper Pitt Street, Kirribilli.

 

I have used my Canon 75-300mm zoom lens so you can see all the details on the city buildings, as well as the historic Campbells Cove precinct across the harbour.

 

The 'Marvel' is a tugboat built in 2020 (4 years old) and currently sailing under the flag of Australia.

This was a bit of a side trip that we shot on our way to Proxy Falls. Sadly, Proxy was closed because there was a fire nearby. I had been wanting to visit here with a camera for a long time. I love the tunnel effect you get here. Just a simple river image, but fun nonetheless. Let me know what you think.

It's good that you are, what a marvel that I am!

Two different songs, colliding, blending,

Two colors never before seen together,

One very low, turned towards the ground,

One very high, almost torn in the frosty air,

An unmatched battle of wonder that you are,

Of chance that I am

So you thought I wasn’t gonna show up just because it’s 2026?

 

Aww, sweetie… that’s adorable.

 

And yeah yeah, I KNOW I’m not the real holy dude but NOTHING keeps Marvel’s discount Jesus from making an entrance

 

Tell me this isn’t at least “divine cosplay with benefits.”

 

No, I’m not dead in case you're wondering...

 

These gates are just cheap knockoffs from a theme park clearance sale just like my halo.

 

So this Easter, remember to keep love in your heart. The same way I keep Hugh Jackman and myself trapped together in this friendship locket like two emotionally constipated soulmates.

 

❤️BFFs forever❤️

Whether he likes it or not.

 

And kids…

devour all the chocolate you can find.

Become the cocoa‑powered chaos gremlin destiny intended.

 

Just, uh… avoid the whole “digestive disaster” thing.

Nobody wants an Easter that turns into a literal… well… you get it (rhymes with shisthow).

 

And finally:

Hugs, not drugs.

Unless the drug is chocolate. Or caffeine. Or the soft warmth of a bunny you definitely didn’t steal from a petting zoo.

The Pantheon ('temple of all the gods') is an Roman temple, completed by emperor Hadrian in 126 CE.

 

The Pantheon's dome, made from Roman concrete, is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome.

The Frederic C. Hamilton Building of the Denver Art Museum is certainly a marvel of abstract architecture. Walking from 12th Avenue, northwards on the red brick pavement, a less seen aspect of this angular wonder can be observed. In the strong Colorado sunlight, a strong contrast worked rather well with black and white.

I'm looking for review so don't hesitate :)

Well, as I previously mentionned, I am not a big fan of the panoramic framing. However, once in a while, you must admit it is a necessity... I tried to get decent shots of the marvelous Eystrahorn from a closer view point. But with my 70-200, I had no clue to fit it properly in the frame. So I needed to move hundreds of metter back. And then, it was it... Amazing set of tones, with a nice cloudy atmosphere and the subtle rays of light piercing through, just to turn the field and the farms right in the middle of the shot into a light-green passage. Even though it may not seem as a buttkick picture at first sight, I consider it as one of the best picture I've taken so far! Really happy about it !

Thanks for your faves and comments!

So I needed to empty out my box of Marvel Legends tonight. I needed to get pictures of Iron Fist, Sasquatch and Maestro. Most of these were at the bottom.

 

I don't just tip the box out willy nilly and let them get bashed around, I carefully unpack it and stand the marvels up one by one.. these have been re-arranged slightly, but not to the stage where they are in a dramatic scene or shot. I was quite taken back at how many I have, this doesn't include the figures I have from the HML series or the Fantastic Four Box Set. See the Tags list for the figures or characters in this picture.

Not sure how the Swanson Schoolhouse has managed to survive. I've visited it before, and even peeked inside at it's bird ravaged interior. This time I just gazed at it and marveled at it's fortitude in the grip of loneliness and decay under a canopy of puffy clouds.

They’re real. Google it.

 

I discovered the other day that this team exist and I looked further into it. The concept is fascinating, as each member represents a certain group of people. Iron Man reps the normal humans, Dr Strange reps the mystic humans, Mr Fantastic reps meta-humans, Prof X reps mutants, Black Bolt reps Inhumans, and Namor reps anti-heroes. I thought it was cool, so I made them.

 

-Totally Awesome

It has been suggested to have solo fig pictures unless I have teams or groups, so here is my updated Elektra

"... and it stands in the grey of the City, no time for pity..." as the song goes.

Cream's "World of Pain" instantly comes to mind when I walk past Moorgate in London Wall. This magnificent oaktree, however, evokes no pity - only admiration. It copes very well in the middle of tall office buildings and heavy traffic. Busy Square-Mile bees walk past oblivious, never raising their heads to marvel at this 'roof'...

The city of Toledo was made entirely of delicate glass. Everyday life was a dance of precision and care. The streets were paved with glass, and the buildings soared high into the sky, gleaming in the morning sunlight. Even the people were made of a glass-like material, rendering them translucent and fragile.

 

The inhabitants of the city went about their daily routines with practiced ease, stepping delicately and handling objects with care. They marveled at the intricate patterns of light that danced through the glass structures, casting shimmering rainbows across their world.

 

One day, a visiting opera singer arrived in the city. The diva, renowned for her powerful voice, stepped onto the stage and began to perform an aria.

 

As she sang, the glass people and buildings around her began to shatter into a million glittering fragments. The sound waves from her voice were too much for the delicate glass structures to bear.

 

The singer, oblivious to the destruction she had wrought, continued to perform, her voice rising in power and volume. Piles of colored glass fragments lay all around her, a stark testament to the devastation of her performance.

 

The people of the city were stunned, and many perished in the wake of the singer's powerful voice. The city that had once been a marvel of glass and light was reduced to a pile of broken fragments.

 

But still, the singer continued to sing, her voice ringing out across the shattered city. In the end, she was the only one left, standing in the midst of the ruin, singing out into the empty sky.

 

And the city of glass was no more, reduced to a memory of fragility and beauty, shattered by the power of a single voice.

I know I said I’d be taking a bit of a superhero hiatus but after seeing venom I threw these guys together. And I’ve also decided to make a spidey villain groupshot at some point

 

Venom- torso and legs are from the fig factory robocop.

 

Eddie brock- or Eddie brick in this case. Pun aside I quite like this fig

 

Cletus kassidy- I feel I butchered his last name. Ah well, based on woodys cameo in the mid credit scene

 

Deadpool- back from when he bonded with lasher, riot, phage, and agony to fight carnage. Really like how he looks

 

Classic iron man- not venom related but here he is anyway. Perfect head for him I’d say

  

What do you all think?
