Happily snapping away at a back lit web until I saw the spider.

    Thanks for the comment. The lighting was a delight but the spider was not. :D

    Nice spider web photo Eia.
    One of the nicer ones of this type I'm seeing on the internet just now.
    I was pressed to investigate a bit because I think
    the spider you photographed (daddy long leg spider) didn't make the web
    he is just buming for a meal. They don't make silk webs.
    Best I can tell it is a tangle web/cobweb variety spider that did the work.
    Hope I got that right. :D

    Thanks for this info! I thought daddy long legs were 'thinner' and more delicate. This one was thick and huge. I guess it could be a DLL and I never even thought that it is the one who didn't make the web. Whomever made the web sure made it intricate! :D And that is what caught my attention. Thanks for the comment!

    That's pretty cool. I like the first one the best, even if the spider's not there. It makes you search for it in the image and leaves you with a bit of mystery about what kind of spider would spin such a tangled web.

    That web looks similar to the ones spun in zero G (remember the early experiments in the Skylab?)

    Thanks Jeff. I prefer the one without the spider too; its pretty. The spider introduces another level... :D
