   Summary Author:  Piero Armando

   During a morning trek along the  Valnontey, in the  Aosta Valley
   of far northwestern Italy, the morning  dew was quite evident. In
   particular it created a splendid effect on this classic  spider web.
   The “ silk” composing spider webs is very fine and is quite
   effective in scattering light. Note that whether the web appears bright
   or dark depends on not only the illumination but on the background
   against which it’s observed. Photo taken on June 23, 2022.

   Photo details: Canon EOS 600D camera; exposure 1/400 seconds; ISO 400;
   f ratio f/8; focal length 180 mm.

   Valnontey (Aosta Valley), Italy Coordinates: 45.5863, 7.3392
