Threads Church on Milham Road. I believe that this structure was built within the last ten years; there used to be a small Baptist church on this property that looked more dated.

Tripod mounted Canon XTi, Tokina 16-50mm f2.8. Three image HDR, stacked and tonemapped in Photomatix. Perspective correction using PTGui. The sky was duplicated as another adjustment layer to make it even bluer. Air temperature: 26 degrees F. No one was around to bother me.

In order to span a distance, the first strand a spider releases from its spinneret glands is left to float in the wind and attach to an object on the far side. This is called the bridge thread. This one happens to be in front of this train bridge. I didn't wait to see if this spider went on to create a capture web. I didn't see the spider at all. Maybe this was a trick to lure me into poison ivy to get this shot.

I used to love coming down here for a look around. It was tangled, untroubled quiet and peaceful. It seemed time had stood still. Then inexplicably the tidy squad moved in and spoiled the restfulness, cut down the ivy, laid out the stones, bared the timeless tangles and it no longer held the mystery or even was the wildlife haven but when i venture a glance what is this? A plait of ivy stretching from tree to tree, as odd as the sticks laid across the bare earth? and the bones?
I am hopeless at wasp I.D. but I am guessing this is a Thread-waisted Wasp (Family Sphecidae). Any I.D. help much appreciated! [Lower Blue Mountains, NSW].
EDIT: Thanks to Maurice for identifying this as a Hatchet Wasp (Evaniidae).
The thread holder that did not work for transporting thread (lid that won't stay on) is great for a table-top organizer for my non-tradional threads.
