Roofline and eaves

072413

After I took a picture of the restroom and the park headquarters, I saw this marvelous bit of architectural detailing. I liked the corrugated metal roof and the shadow it made on the eaves. Look closely and maybe you can see the bit of a spider web on the roof.

That reminds me – elsewhere on the island, I saw a spider in a web. That’s not too remarkable, except that I was IN A BUS when I saw it. And it was on the opposite side of the road. And it was so gigantic that I easily spotted it from across the road. I’m not that person that gets all freaked out over a spider. Except maybe that one, the one that was a big as a house cat. (OK. So maybe it wasn’t quite THAT big. But it was at least as big as, well, a really big spider.)

  1. We have spiders the size of a Buick here. A small Buick, but a Buick nevertheless.
    And I like the shot, too. Spider web and all.

  2. Corrugated iron! And a great shadow to go with it. Nice shot, even in colour.

    I would not mind if I never encountered another Buick (they bore me). But I like spiders and it would be pretty cool to see one so large it had to be locked in a bus for community safety reasons.

    • I know – color! What is going on?! (Tomorrow’s blog is in color, too.)

      In general I don’t mind spiders, but one as big as a Buick? Maybe….if it were locked up, as you say, for community safety reasons.
