Giant Spider Web - Not A Sci-Fi Movie

We were eating breakfast on the deck one morning when we looked up and saw this giant spider web in the trees next door. It was really impressive. The web must have been 7-8 feet in diameter.

Here's a close-up of the web. The strands are thick compared to other webs we've seen. We don't know if the dot at the center is the spider or not. We didn't really hang around to find out. This is a "serious" looking web.

We bet this poor spider worked all night to complete this web; however, it was gone the next day. At least we got to enjoy it for one morning; hope it was profitable for the spider.
