Detail of a wasp's nest. It contains 7 layers and is about 12"high and 12"wide. Some years ago I had to smoke out a wasp's nest in the ground, because they were building it right in front of the sheep barn's entrance. Being alway curious I started digging and found this beautiful, almost intact, but still under construction nest.
I still have it, getting a bit dusty through the years.

That is a really cool find. I love the green that you can see through in the background too. I think a skinnier crop might look cool too, but there is so much character all over that is hard to cut anything! Great job.

Well this is definitely a different type of construction! Good idea and well executed. I like the colours you captured and also the focus.
