Southern California?

Looks like a golden orb weaver.

Actually, northern Netherlands. Would love to know what kind it is though.

Thank you! Definitely one of my most unique shots. I just wish I had taken more time to optimize the focus but it probably looked fine on the small display. But who knows, maybe a better focus might’ve messed up the disappearing web or something else altogether.
