The beginning is also the end, which is also the middle. It's all happening as we live and breathe. If that makes sense.

My first, and apparently, most successful, Explore.
This image comprises 2 shots taken of the back of the dressing room structure at the National Bowl in Milton Keynes.
EDIT:- As at Mid December 2015; this structure has been dismantled and removed.
I recommend clicking on the expansion arrows icon (top right corner) to go into the Lightbox for maximum effect.

こんなもの作ってしまいました。どうしていいのかわからないのでガチャにしました。
ちなみにこれはメッシュではなくスカプリです。
When I found this spider she was just starting her web under the eaves of the house. She grabbed a wrapped up millipede and placed it in the middle prior to generating the spokes - perhaps as a reference point. It was facinating to watch but the whole time I was taking pictures I was afraid she might drop down on me. The next day I observed her drop down from her web about 3 feet.
Possibly Spotted Orbweaver (Neoscona) crucifera. Per bugguide: "Some species (usually collectively referred to as "barn spiders", i.e. Neoscona crucifera) are nearly impossible to distinguish from Araneus and can only be separated by examination of carapace to view the carapace groove (fovea). Neoscona have a longitudinal groove on the carapace (parallel with the long axis of the body), whereas Araneus have angular (transverse) grooves. However, an apparent problem is that in Araneus the groove may appear as little more than a dimple, making it tough to tell." bugguide.net/node/view/1991
Id help/corrections appreciated.
Found in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
My #69 spider this year.
Node 2 is a European-built module of the International Space Station that serves as utility room, docking port and sleeping quarters. It was built in Italy for NASA and installed on the Space Station in 2007.
In this image Portuguese-born photographer Edgar Martins has shot the exterior of a Node 2 mock-up the Erasmus centre in ESA’s scientific and technical heart at ESTEC in Noordwijk, the Netherlands. In space the docking ports are used to connect spacecraft such as the Japanese ferry HTV, commercial supply ship Cygnus and NASA’s Space Shuttle before it retired from service.
Edgar Martins collaborated closely with ESA to produce a comprehensive photographic survey of the Agency’s various facilities around the globe, together with those of its international partners.
The striking results are collected in his book entitled The Rehearsal of Space and The Poetic Impossibility to Manage the Infinite.
Characteristically empty of people, Martins’ long-exposure photos – taken with analogue wide film cameras – possess a stark, reverent style. They document the variety of specialised installations and equipment needed to prepare missions for space, or to recreate orbital conditions for testing down on Earth.
This artistic collaboration was part of a number of events marking the 50th anniversary of European cooperation in space in 2014.
