I like things that are vast... but I also like things that are tiny and intricate in detail.
Last Saturday, after a weekend of cabin fever stuck in the office I went on a new walk. I went to the canal and decided to see how far I could get in an hour... and I walked straight out of the town. Past narrow boats, fishermen and locks in motion, past the bridges and, eventually, out into the middle of nowhere. I reached the next village before my hour was up and I turned round. As usual I took my camera and recorded what I saw, but my favourite picture wasn't one of my usual panoramics or skyscapes, but this one. Click on the image to enlarge it. It's worth it...
It's a tight-knit spiderweb, dew-jewelled under the shadow of a bush. It almost doesn't look real to me, all those tiny drops lined up like that, only a little surface tension and the strength of a silken line I can barely see to stop them from falling. I think it's amazing
