There's something beautiful and yet sad about harbour cranes on a quiet rainy day or in the mist, don't you think? They look so lonely and bored - as though they're just longing to pick up those long straight legs and give them a good-old stretch and perhaps take a walk to the end of the pier. They remind me of the giant walking trees, the Ent, from J.R.R. Tolken's Lord of the Rings.

Btw: The cranes rather remind me of Transformers than walking trees. :)

I still love the Ent wives.

Post authorLol, Ali. And yes, you’re right – they also remind me of Transformers. :)
Mary Ann, yes, one could argue that the cranes look more like the female ents than the males. :)
