I think I have to explain my train of thought here.

Mal Reynolds is played by Nathan Fillion who has come to non-nerd fame with the tv series Castle. My hometown is known as the two-castle town (“Zweiburgenstadt”) and in my photo you can see why. I hope the shot conveys the serenity I felt, on a late summer’s evening, just before sundown, with everything quiet and peaceful around me. And so I’ve come full circle.

And yet, then the dragonfly just lies there.
