An orb weaver spider sits in shadow in the middle of her (almost) perfect pinwheel spider web waiting for the morning dew to dry off her web, as the sun rises in the background. All in black and white.
Sharing this for #BWfri and #NightmareNovember because it fits both for me! I think spiders are fascinating creatures, but they always startle me and therefore I am now #arachnaphobic

A photograph of a decayed sign in woodland at a Natural England Reserve. Rusted and about 8’ tall the words on it are faded orange on a white background in block capitals saying KEEP OUT. However missing letters as the lettered section appears to ‘peal’ away from the structure. For example the OUT is now just a partial O. The background is muted in browns, greys, yellows and green reflective of the soggy seasonal overcast day. It wasn’t clear to the photographer from what or where one should keep out. Sevenoaks, Kent.

A photograph of the western wall of St Michael's Hospital shot from the Massey Hall passerelle. The lighting levels have been played with — particularly the black point and shadows — to bring the layering of windows into focus. Two rectangular art nouveau stained glass windows in tones of orange, cream, and light blue are reflected from the original 1890s exterior wall onto the glass addition. The glass enclosed walkway looks onto St Michael's Hospital and connects the Hall's front of house to the new lounges and backstage spaces added to the rear of the building. The warm colouration is a sharp contrast to the cool practicality of the hospital's lights. Even late into the evening, many of the hospital's floors remain brightly lit. In the middle at the left of the frame, one of the few darkened windows catches a tiny reflection of a pair of arched windows from the gallery level above the photographer. The harsh lighting of the hospital spills sharply through doors at the bottom right corner onto the street. There is a bright lamp in the bottom left of the frame. In the top right corner, interior lighting near the photographer is creating a bit of a soft halo.
St Michael's Hospital & Massey Hall reflection shot taken inside the passerelle addition. Stained glass windows of the original exterior wall captured in the glass.

A photo of a pair of red high heel shoes that have lost their plastic/paint coating in places through wear. Positioned atop an accessible wheely bin as an act of hope that a clever passer-by will take them and repaint them and in turn wear them. In the background and mid ground are cars parked on the residential street and the terraced homes on the opposite side of the street. Two of the cars are scarlet in colour prompting the photographer to pause yet again because they simply couldn’t help themselves. It’s a rainy, grey day with water on the bin and path gate (wrought iron), giving the reds particular appeal. One day I’ll finish the day to day tasks in a sensible time frame but not today.

Small tattered doll's head jabbed onto a stick. Its hair looks like it has been hacked at and it is matted with dirt. Its face is scuffed and battered and it has no eyes - instead the orbits are jammed full with dirt and bits of grit. There is a slight smile on its chubby face.
Today's Art Challenge there is a #NightmareNovember #unnatural option. This was jabbed onto a branch as I took a stroll through a small wood. Sweet dreams everyone. @handcranked.bsky.social
A photograph of a billboard style poster on the side of a building located in Rochester High Street. A little raggedy and of Charles Dickens (local connection). On the wall above the poster is a ghost sign which is hard to decipher. In this image the poster is dissected by the sloping roof of an adjacent building. The building itself is old, perhaps Industrial Revolution and has beautiful, ornate windows. Colours are muted reflecting the poor light at the time of taking. Early afternoon in November.

Acrylic painting of ocean waves crashing against dark rocks. The ocean is a teal and blue color, and the waves are white with splashes of teal. The rocks are dark brown and black. The sky is a light blue and purple color. The painting is done in a realistic style. Presented in a bespoke tray frame
Just imagine the sounds of the crashing waves of the sea

A photograph of a roadside gift store window where a display stand features a variety of children’s dolls. Disassembled to replace their torsos with old utility tinware. Such as an old film container and something called Para-Zene that appears to be an insect repellent. The tins are a variety of colours and the dolls less Barbie more generic or Sindy types. Mostly blonde. The Kodak doll hangs on the stand so she appears to be giving side-eye to Para-Zene doll. Likely accidental.

A wooden lobster trap
Saw this by a pond in Carmel, Indiana in 2017. Far from the sea.

Putting the candle in the old lantern that hangs out front, I discovered a spiderweb and paper wasp nests trapped at the top. In imminent danger of being burnt by flame, I switched to battery operated candle.

This ominous moonrise over Mount Palomar was captured just a few days before Santa Ana wind driven wildfires blew into the little town in the foreground.
Many small ranches and horse training facilities were tragically destroyed in 2017.
