Back in March of this year, I photographed this now dessicated stalk when it was covered with healthy growth and flowers. The flowers are long gone, but I like the look of the structure itself.
It wasn't until I was looking at the image on my computer monitor that I noticed this little green spider near the bottom that had produced the silky webs that had been on the branches, but which came off when I moved and handled the branches in setup.
Strobist info: I lit this with a YN560-II in a 24 inch softbox, camera left and pointing to the subject at a 45 degree angle, as the main light and a YN560 in an identical softbox, camera right at half the power of the main light, for fill. I reduced the power on the fill light because I wanted to see some shadows to provide a sense of depth. Both strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash, and the equipment that I use. www.flickr.com/photos/9422
The flowering plant that this came from can be seen in the comments below.
Sigh. Always shooting into the sun. Anyway. Here are a few views of Shunet El Zebib, the Old Kingdom mud brick structure built by Khasekhemwy.

A sub-vertical fault plane with sharp bends and slight curves along slickenline striation paths/traces (in non-technical terms, scratches in the rock from frictional drag along the fault surface),
indicating a history of slight and temporary change in displacement direction (part of Eocene age extensional faulting in south-central British Columbia). Location: Warren Creek Road, near Greenwood, British Columbia.

These structures were used to supply coal to steam locomotives. Although Illinois Central started buying diesel locomotives for passenger trains and yard switching early on, it was one of the last among major lines to convert its freight operations from steam.

Another attempt at a Gasometer - this time with a nice streaky sky. Still a long way to go to get this right, but its a good start.

Escalier de la bibliothèque universitaire de Strasbourg.
Un grand escalier hélicoïdal y a été installé, suspendu par d'immenses tiges métalliques. C'est l'entreprise Schafner qui a participé à sa construction, considérée comme un chef d'œuvre à lui seul qui a même été primé par les Amis du Vieux Strasbourg. "Le résultat est très fidèle au concours : la lumière est abondante, zénithale, comme les Gloires dans la peinture religieuse de la Renaissance", raconte l'architecte, Nicolas Michelin.
