We have yet to see cranes (which are a land bird anyway) descending anywhere near
Needhan Market lake, but this image caught my eye one evening as the November sun settled
into the gloaming west. The shapes on the reed stem reminded me of the title of a dream-like
orchestral piece by the contemporary Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu, 'A Flock Descends
into the Pentagonal Garden' - apparently inspired by a Man Ray photograph of Marcel
Duchamp's head. So, nothing to do with cranes at all, but that was what went through my
mind as I focused in on these two stalks. The graceful leaves silhouetted against the evening
calm of the lake give it the feel of a tranquil day ending.
