En este caso es una hembra de Sympetrum fonscolombii quien lo está haciendo.

Robe is famous for many things but the most photo'd spot is probably the Obelisk. Here the waves can pump in over the submerged rocks.

Piazza del Popolo.
Op het midden van het plein staat sinds 1586 een 24 meter hoge Egyptische obelisk, die stamt uit het Circus Maximus. Augustus heeft deze obelisk geplaatst.
The Killiney Obelisk, located in a stunning location on Killiney Hill, commemorates a sad event in Ireland’s history. It was commissioned by John Malpas (a wealthy Catholic who had previously owned this land) in response to the famine of 1740 and 1741. This ‘forgotten famine’ was caused by an incredibly cold winter that was followed by severe floods that destroyed livestock and crops. Reports say that it was so cold in Dublin that small vessels were destroyed by icebergs on the River Liffey and towns and cities were plunged into darkness as the street lamps could not be lit. Food riots were also common and sickness broke out throughout the country. Famine relief projects were organized by philanthropists like John Malpas and Kathryn Connolly who’s follies gave employment to destitute families. The year 1741 became known as ‘the year of the slaughter’ among the Irish.
