... and simple.
But you can't pass by without using Fuji's monochrome jpeg engine ...
Wolfgang,
This is exotic but also an engineering feat which man has yet to duplicate!
Well all life is a miracle and these are our cousins! In a hundred million years or so, spiders developed silks engineered to withstand hurricanes and sustain local damage without altering the integrity of the remainder of the web structure!
Also the web is pretty transparent so that insects flying by do not suspect the trap!
The web you have shown here has a fabulous structure with perfect radiating straight lines ordering the radial spiral of silk to meet it in an ordered way, as if planned in a CAD program by an engineer!
Note that in some areas the web seems deficient. Actually the spider can afford to leave areas open as the radial silk, is the stronger element and that's wgmhat holds the structure in place.
This picture is awesome and so well taken and much appreciated!
