The Cork County Hall and the web

Early one morning I visited the County Hall in Cork and took a few photos. In fact, this one is from the same shoot.

Webs covered a tree behind the building, and the early morning dew sparkled in the sun. I was hoping for an ominous feel to the photo but I failed, and instead I have something that mixes nature with our man made presence on this world.

I quite like the way the strands of the web stand out too!

    There were loads of webs about, so must have been plenty of food too. How big? I’d say about a foot across, no signs of the owners, they must have been tucked up in bed from the cold that morning!

    LOL, only a foot across. I thought we were looking at a "bird spider" web. Awesome image!

    Great photo. I can just imagine a five foot tall spider lurking about. This one deserves a prize.
