Usual subject, unusual perch :)! This is a male Vagrant darter, one of the most common species of dragonfly here in the Netherlands. If you're careful, they're not easily scared, so they make excellent photography subjects. This was taken at work on the university campus. BG is a grassy field. Comments are very welcome
