Middleton Spider

While we were visiting Middleton Plantation in Charleston, South Carolina, we observed many of these spiders. I have no idea what kind of spider it is. Anyone care to enlighten us on this type of spider?

Update: LB advises that this is a Golden Silk Orb-Weaver.

    It appears to be a Golden Silk Orb-Weaver (genus Nephila.) See link - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_silk_orb-weaver
