Look what's made a home on this webcam!...

[petunia]

Not exactly weather related but I thought this was funny. I discovered this webcam when looking at ones of the erupting Icelandic volcano a few months ago. This webcam is of Hekla (when you can see it through the rain/mist/fog!) but I noticed this morning, a spider's made a web right over the camera lens!
I wonder how long it'll be before someone comes along and cleans it off!

that looks wonderful petunia! I want to go to Iceland!

I know belgo. They've only had the webcam of the lake up a few weeks but I admit to feeling a pang of, "I want to go there" when I saw it! Have you seen the geyser as well (it whooshes up every few minutes and seems to be a huge tourist attraction!)

Spider's web gone now.

I wondered if maybe we just couldn't see it because of the angle of the light now? We need Darth to come to life and go over and have a look!

I'm still waiting for that geyser to erupt and for all the tourists to run away.

It's strangely hypnotic...

Has it erupted yet?

Now foggy as you like, even Darth is barely there. But yes, it does look like Spidey's gone - darn, I wanted it to stay clear for the sunset, so I could pretend I was on holiday in Iceland!

Yay Spidey just went over the screen!

I saw her too! Yay. Web-rebuilding weather now.

She's there now! Go Spidey!

Also probably our best view of Darth all day. For a webcam where basically nothing has happened in the entire day, this one rocks!

Very busy little spider atm!

Don't know why I'm watchinh intently though, when I could be watching the gazillions in our house.

What's the willy thing?

That's called Darth, Brittany. We think it's some kind of weather sensor but for various parts of the day we thought it might actually be a human being.

WOW!!!!!!!!!! Go spider!!!!!!!

Darth doesnt look so ominous now. Its very light up there isnt it. quite surreal that its lighter now than it was this morning.

Yeah, I wanted to watch the sunset but now not sure there actually will be one! This morning must have been so dark because of all the cloud.

I guess we might be waiting a couple of weeks for it!
Spider must get a bit exhausted with next to no night to sleep!

(think it might be npaiing now, its not moved for a bit)

Aw there he/she is. I wonder if Spidey's beginning to wish she'd chosen somewhere else to build a home; having to carry out home maintenance will be a regular thing!

G'night Spidey, g'night Darth.

Now there's something I didn't think I would say today

Spider slowly working away this morning. weather there looks remarkably similar to weather here this am.

Today has been a particularly boring day but looking forward to seeing our volcano tmrw :)

Boring! How so? Actually I did ee the spider wrapping up a caught fly at one point, but I thought that was too exciting and not in the spirit of the thing so I decided it was best not to post it.

The light is very different today, and worryingly no sign of web

Darth is back to looking menacing, excellent.
