I've been collecting photographs of the many, many weather vanes in the Nutfield area (Derry and Londonderry, New Hampshire). If you want a challenge, I'll post the locations at the bottom of the page so you can scroll down far enough to see the photo, but not the location, and try to guess where you may have seen these lovely weather vanes.
Do you know the location of weather vane #18?

This weather vane is located on private property in Londonderry, on top of a storage shed in my friend's backyard. It represents their little pet dog, Coco. If you know a daschund named Coco in Londonderry, then you know where this weather vane is located!

What a neat idea. Weathervanes may be seen in rural Kansas/Missouri, but rarely as intricate as in the NE. Are they actually functional?
ReplyDeleteHello, Kathleen! Yes, they are fully functional weathervanes. Sometimes when photographing these weathervanes I have to run around the building, especially in windy weather, just to get the "good side"!
ReplyDeleteI've seen various breeds of dogs as vanes, but never a dachshund!
