Artwork Description:

..... This longlegged.. longbeaked.. grey bird.. a crane?.. would wade the waters beneath in the early early hrs... and late at night.. I heard him screech.. unsettling kind of way.. rushed to the open glass door.. and spotted him.. when he rose.. and flew off.. quietly.. He came every night.. stood there.. where the fisherman was.. waiting for a bite.. and the bird waited too... and so was I.. wondered.. what kind of bird.. where it came from.. why so late at n ight.. and this haunting screech... Never could look at him real close long enough.. or get him in my lense.. Exept my last night in Lecco.... This birds crying screech... raised me quickly from my bed.. and there he was.. tall.. standing.. not leaving.. and I looked at him.. and he did not flee.. and fly away as usual.. Both just stood and looked...... I felt.. joy.. yet also sadness.. And when I slowly reached for my camera.. he stayed.. I tried to take a picture.. but.. too dark.. So.. I looked longer... until he rose.. and flew off into the dark grey night... out of my sight.. but not... mind........... This photo is from other side of the Pontevecchino bridge.. towards train bridge..
