Webweaver

A dense fog rolled in a couple of nights ago. I grabbed my camera to get some fog shots, and as I panned around, I noticed a shimmering something up in the air, beneath the power lines. Zoomed in and found two huge spider webs, in unique circumstances for me – the higher one was about the shape and size of a kite, while the lower one was maybe the size of a bed sheet – mist from the fog coated the webs, and a nearby street light was just at the right angle for the moisture to catch the light, so I grabbed as many shots as I could before the sun came up. As it did, the webs became invisible once again, though if you knew where to look, you could see a speck in the middle, no doubt the architect of the artwork. I’ve not seen that from the wires before… though I shot the spider in “Spider Moon” right out the back door… now I wonder how many webs that size might be dangling from power & cable lines up high.
