objet suspendu

it hangs heavy like a giant silvery spider, but staying quite still above the balcony...
it catches my eye as I am photographing the building - I zoom in on this araignée grise and marvel at its elegant design, its mysterious purpose, its decorative placement beneath its thick wiry web... waiting oh so patiently for an unsuspecting prey to come along...
I am still in suspense as to what kind of spider it is...

[really, what is this thing??]

The building itself is rather strange. It looks like everything is coated with a thin film of white paint.

I will have a pic of the façade in a later post...the thin film of white could be from the light, that or the whole building needs a good dusting!
