String of Pearls - # 142/2011



Not the finest macro shot in the world (hand held and the camera waving about all over the place) but nevertheless very, very nice indeed.

The recent heavy fog covered Europe from England across to Norway and all the way down over France and Germany to Vienna, Austria.  That's a very big cloud of fog - which is an excellent metaphore for the fumblings of European politicians failing to manage the Euro-crisis.

Unlike the efforts of Sarkozy and Merkel this string on the spider's web hangs together extremely well and does not unravel within milliseconds of the next (bad) decision being taken.

  3. Apart from that picture, I also loved the line "Unlike the efforts of Sarkozy and Merkel this string on the spider's web hangs together extremely well and does not unravel within milliseconds of the next (bad) decision being taken."

  4. @Roberto, Liz in Stockholm and Rakesh --thank you. I do always try to please. Sorry it's not "Daily", but the images don't always arrive on time.

  5. Lovely! There are two layers of beauty here, aren't there: the web itself and then the exquisite pearls of dew.
