Trees rising above the floodwaters became safe havens for web-spinning spiders in Sindh, Pakistan, as seen in December 2010.

Most of the floodwaters in Sindh and the surrounding region have now receded, and people are slowly returning to what's left of their towns and villages.

I like spiders webs, as long as they're vacant.  :)

Actually, the thought of the size and amount of spiders it must have taken to do that, has given me the creeps.  Pass the G&T!!  :nerves:
