This one is a slightly older picture – one from the archives. It was taken the same morning as another picture and post about Stonehenge – here…
For one reason or another I haven’t managed to take many pics within the last couple of weeks so I decided to take a look through some of the older photos in the collection. I keep coming across this particular photo and it always makes me pause. Not sure why – there’s just something pleasing about it that makes me look twice, so I thought I’d post it.
It’s probably a little unfair to mention here because I’m not sure you can see it very well with the small picture on flickr, but the focus is actually on the dew in the grass – and how it’s formed dew-y suspension bridges between the blades of grass. It seems like spiders were busy creating webs over the grass, and then dew formed on them overnight. Totally reminds me of a suspension bridge with little lights dotted along the cables… I digress.
I remember the morning distinctly. Turning up in the car pre-dawn. Freezing hands gripping the even more freezing steering wheel. Still, it turned out into an incredible morning. Just goes to show you can’t really predict stuff, just show up and see what you’re dealt!
