Dew on Spider Web at Dawn Westminster Ridge

Tiny spheres of water rest on the fine silk threads of a spider web stretched across a wind-scoured ridge. Early summer light strikes the horizon haze, illuminating each droplet with a soft, cool glow. The web spans the foreground in sharp focus against a blurred backdrop of gray stone and distant urban silhouettes. Humid air hangs heavy after recent rain, visible in the way the silk holds its tension. The droplets refract the pale morning sky, creating miniature prisms of white and blue. One bead slides slowly down a diagonal thread, leaving a wet trail that catches the low sun.
