So what other cranes can I show you?
Yes we are in homonym land, words with the same spelling and pronunciation but different meanings. Must be a nightmare for those who first language is not English because there are an awful lot of them. You would have to crane your neck to look up at these big 'birds'. The cranes are moving goods in the Prince of Wales Docks, Workington.
Here on the Cumbrian coast my viewpoint is Town Quay where a fishing boat is coasting in from the sea perhaps after casting their net. The morning clouds spread over the sky but they would soon clear to a blue sky day.
It was a family boat and here father and daughter concentrate on cleaning and untangling the net while winding it back on the drum. The day was clear and calm with no wind.
An entry to ABC Wednesday, a journey through the alphabet this week sojourning at C here.

ROG, ABCW
Clever and creative post, the grey crowned crane is looking very dapper.
Great combination of C's!
Absolutely gorgeous photos! Hope you're staying warm in this cold winter everyone (except us) is having.

The Grey Crowned Crane appearing very regal there. Beautiful day at the docks and looks like it was a busy morning too with those heavy cranes. I guess to further add to the confusion if Crane ended up as a person's last name such as a familiar fictional character in literature, Ichabod Crane.:D
I love how much thought you put into writing this post with so many C's. That's a lot of cranes! :)
That was a creatively composed post with wonderful pictures.
Wow! You got a lot of 'C' words in there!
Really lovely photo of the bird.
Have a beautiful day!

LOL! Yes, Homonym Land is certainly confusing to those that aren't used to the nuances of the English language! I think I prefer the first Crane shot. That is one Crazy Crown!
