A conference of cranes

[Mikes]

Tokyo - shot from our balcony a couple of weeks ago.

[Fons Baerken]

Nice!

[John Geerts]

Great lines and colour, Mike.

[Akira]

Great lines and colour, Mike.

Agreed.  The bluish hue of the shadowed buildings and their windows makes the perfect background for the cranes.

Nice D850 image, by the way. 

[David H. Hartman]

I was expecting birds. I'm crest fallen.

Fons and John - thanks for commenting. It's an interesting construction site in the midst of high rise buildings - on the site of the old Okura Hotel which was an institution in Tokyo.

[Mikes]

Thanks, Akira. You are very observant, as usual. Yes, I put my name with Mapcamera and it turned up unexpectedly a few weeks ago. I have been in Sydney ever since, returning to Tokyo tomorrow to pick it up again. Impressed so far.

Looking forward to meeting up with you and David.

Sorry about that, Dave. I was plannng to title the post "Japanese Red Cranes" but I thought that might be pushing it a bit far.

I'll try for some avian Red Cranes in Hokkaido early next year, weather permitting.

Good for you.  See you soon!
