Surrounded by hundreds of dragonflies

This evening after finishing an intensive process of Air Swimmers construction. Making the last robe knots to the bamboo poles on the field, after a thunderstorm, hundreds of dragonflies had been sourrended myself. The grass full of water drops, fresh and smelly, and the beauty of the Pacífic. And at the end of the other side of the sea side, above the tropical mountains hidden in the smog, breaking waves sounds returning back to my ears. I feel in paradise. Thanks for all.
