Spider Web Pictures

Anybody living in the Greater Vancouver Regional District will know that it was rather foggy a week ago. UBC was no exception, with the fog rolling in to a visibility of around 500 meters. This humidity in the air had the effect of depositing a layer of "dew" on everything around, including spider webbing. I took my camera and tripod outside to the walkway that connects my building with the commons block, and set it up to take various photos of the dew-drenched spider webs. Most people who passed were curious and astonished at what I was doing, and most thought I was a little "strange". After taking photos of the webs, I coerced Byron to join me and go down to Wreck Beach and we took photos of the cliffs, the breakwall, and the surf. I have put all the photos of that day on my webserver, with a link page here. The link page is a simple html, but it in turn links to the original, unscaled 5.1 megapixel images, so you have been warned. These pictures have not been Gimped in any way, and the first image in the set is from a different day (in case you were wondering about the lack of fog in that photo).
