Cranes Descending at Dusk

Silhouettes of three cranes descending at dusk as they approach a resting site in the Vorpommersche Boddenlandschaft, northern Germany. The photo was taken from the viewpoint near the Meiningen Bridge between Bresewitz and Zingst in early October. The Bodden are shallow, lagoon-like coastal waters separated from the Baltic Sea by narrow peninsulas, providing safe night roosts for cranes, protected from predators.
