Landing Pad- Naturally

Still in Norbury Park and this time on a bridge over the River Mole. I must say the river here particularly is sill showing signs of the winter floods, in many places there is debris in the river and especially up against bridges where fallen trees are still jammed up against the brickwork making dams. This is a nightmare waiting to happen I reckon as any flash floods will only cause more flooding as the flow of the river is blocked by the rubbish collected at these points. However the fallen trees do make great landing pads for the dragonflies ( and any other flying creature )and to get this shot I was hanging over the brickwork of the bridge- the things us lot do for a shot.

Excellent shot, Vince. I have taken the liberty of using it as an example in the forums of a macro shot at a large aperture

Excellent job Vince and yes it does help to be able to bend and twist for the sake of a photo
