"Winged Cranes. Cranes, in English, means the machine crane, the bird crane and in French skull.
When I lived in south London, back in 2008, every day had to pass the bridges crossing the river to go to work and come back home. It was nearly three hours I spent in buses every day, writing and looking for myself between the lines of my notebook. And cranes were always working on the docks in the construction of buildings by the river. I've never seen so many cranes together.
