A female beautiful demoiselle (Calopteryx virgo, Blauflügel-Prachtlibelle) that I found close to a retention reservoir at the Duvenstedter Brook nature reserve in the north-east of Hamburg, Germany.
Part of my Zodimap project, I'm photographing all the Zodiacs. Each one is a mosaic of images captured at 85mm, each image is a stack of 10! So they take a fair bit of time to shoot and process. So far I have captured 10, and processed 8.
When astrometry solver doesn't work, do it yourself! (stopped labelling after this modest effort, the image is quite poor anyway)

Princes Pier is a 580 metre long historic pier on Port Phillip, in Princes Pier, adjacent to Station Pier in Port Phillip Bay, is one of Melbourne’s most important cultural assets both as an exemplar of a pre-containerised shipping facility and as a place rich in Australia’s wartime, maritime and multicultural history. Words by Steve Brown, design director, NDYLIGHT.
Built between 1912 and 1915, it was constructed by the Melbourne Harbour Trust as a second railway pier in Port Melbourne, The pier was designed to handle both cargo and passengers, and also boasted office accommodation for customs officers and shipping companies as well as waiting room for passengers with moveable gangways making it safer and more comfortable to board or disembark.
Originally known as 'New Railway Pier', it was renamed Princes Pier in 1921 in honour of the royal visit by the Prince of Wales. The pier’s iconic two-level timber Gatehouse was added in 1935 to enable better monitoring of cargo and traffic on to and off of the pier.
Princes Pier is a heritage listed structure, and was the departure point for Australian troops during the First and Second World Wars, and also the arrival point for American troops during the Second World War. In a significant peacetime role, it was the first landing point in Australia for post-war migrants — more than one million between 1947 and 1969.
After the containerization boom and the last of the migrant ships in 1969 the pier became run-down and was decommissioned in 1985. It suffered severe deterioration over the next two decades, until in 2006 the Victorian Government decided Princes Pier would not be left to rot and committed $34 million to its restoration.
