Hi Pentti

This is indeed most interesting!
I've seen many dragonflies resting on tree bark in early fall in order to try and get warm faster, but i haven't seen so many an so different all at once.
You appear to have many Sumpetrum-s here plus a nice Aeshna mixta and an Aeshna grandis (i think) here, which is really terrific!
Very nicely seen and captured. Perhaps just slightly underexposed, but presented with good details and from a good POV.

Bravo and TFS
Horia
