| This gilded centaur can be seen at Mack's Apples in Londonderry. It is the first weathervane I posted in this series. |
I’ve posted 75 weathervanes in this series, and there are
several dozen more to go! I’m inviting
any reader to email me at vrojomit@gmail.com
if you spot an unusual, historic or whimsical weathervane I have not yet posted
online. Just drop me a quick message
with the location and a description, and I’ll try to make your contributions
part of the Weathervane Wednesday series in 2013.
Most of these weathervanes have been in the Nutfield area
(Londonderry, Derry and Windham, New Hampshire, but there have been a few from
far away including Spain and Disney World in California!
Since I’ve been posting these photographs and
stories for more than a year now, I thought it would be fun to tally up what
sorts of weathervanes I’ve covered so far…
Angels - 2
Arrows and Banners - 9
Cats- 1
Birds (other than ducks or eagles)- 1
Boats and ships - 4
Cows – 3
Dogs- 3
Ducks and Geese- 3
Eagles – 6
Fish and Whales – 3
Horses – 10
Horse and vehicles – 2
Human figures - 2
Letters, numbers and words - 2
Roosters – 5
Vehicles (bikes, motorcycles, tractors, trolleys, cars, etc.)
– 7
Misc – one each of a saw, phone, spider web, centaur, deer
and “The Old Man of the Mountains”
The clear winner so far is horses, with an additional two
horse drawn vehicle weathervanes makes the equestrian theme the most popular
weathervane in Weathervane Wednesday series.
