OK, what caused this?

The inside of our front gate after a hard frost. This view covers about 90cm (around 35") top to bottom.

So what caused the lines?

It's frost on old spider silk.

remains of a spider web?

Since Roger and Jack beat me to the suggestions I was going to make, I'll go with a visual representation of the paths you traced on the Internet this past week. ;)

Very cool and interesting pattern.

Strange image, looks like a drunken spider making a web?

Very interesting patterns!
My guess is that the lines are either minute scratches in the wood, or possibly the chemical trail left by an insect, snail or worm??
