Lately I’m home before dusk more often than I care to admit. I’ve also currently dislocated most of my operations to the living room, the window of which is probably the best point in the house to observe sunsets from.
I left these photos SOOC. One thing I noticed about Canon 600D is that I nearly always agree with how it processes colour. And most of these hardly need enhancement.

Otherwise known as, the Spider Lair of Doom.
In the early days of summer I accompanied my brother to car service. He bribed me with the promise of taking pictures. “I’ll deal with oil and brake pads, while you will go and shoot things. You love that, I know you do.”
Yes, yes, I do. So I agreed.
Little did the bastard know that the entire little patch of greenery was infested with spiders.
I shit you not. Look.
That white stuff? Spider webs. Every bush, from every side, from top to bottom. Covered in thick spider web.
Perhaps the bastard did know. Perhaps he tricked me.
Now, I’m adventurous, but spiders – especially in potential hoards – terrify me. I bent over one of the bushes carefully to get at least a vague idea of the size of these suckers. And they were… quite impressive. Not as huge as the mothers we get in the lands of villa, but still rather intimidating.
So I felt insecure. Like I was being watched by millions and millions of tiny spider eyes. Waiting to make my acquaintance.
Anyway, I just wrote these 180+ words as an apology for the shitty composition in these photos. I really felt rather anxious to return to the car shop. I kind of want to go back to this place in the dead of winter, when spiders will be under the snow. Dead. Or sleeping deeply, and breathing, just quietly waiting for me to approach their kingdom again.
Maybe it was their original plan.
Instigated by my brother.
OK, let me just get this post over and done with.
Kishinev is charming, but not in that part of city, not really.
