Oh, What Tangled Webs We Weave!

This pretty and complex spider web just cried out for a stark black and white treatment! So I gave it one, and I like the result. Hope you do too! The ironwork fence made a good frame for the web and emphasized the contrasts, straight and angular with soft and gentle curves and circles. Where did the spiders get the wisdom to create such awesome designs?

The words, "Oh! what a tangled web we weave  : When first we practice to deceive!" are from the poem, Marmion, by Walter Scott, published in 1808. It doesn't really relate to the photo, only to the weaving of a web of plots and deception. I guess the spider does plot to catch the fly! :)
