Today's weather vane was photographed in Maine.
Do you know the location of weathervane post #373? Scroll down to find the answer.
This very large weathervane above the barn behind the Wine and Cheese Deli in Wells, Maine looks home made. At a distance it looks like a wooden weathervane, but in the close up photograph I can see rivets, so perhaps it is cut from some kind of sheet metal? What ever it is made of, it is large and visible from quite a distance down Route 1. However, I'm sure that most people are busy checking out the large yellow wheel of cheese and the gray mouse above the entrance to the cheese shop instead of noticing the weathervane.
The running horse weathervane is the most popular weather vane in New England, although in other parts of the country the cow and rooster are very popular for barns, too.
