Weathervane Wednesday ~ Two Mermaids by the Sea

I post another in a series of weather vane photographs every Wednesday.  This started with images of weathervanes from the Londonderry, New Hampshire area, but now I've found interesting weather vanes all across New England and across the globe.  Sometimes my weather vanes are whimsical, or historical, but all are interesting.  Often my readers tip me off to some very unique or unusual weathervanes, too!  If you know a great weather vane near you, let me know if you'd like to have it featured on this blog.

Today's weather vanes were photographed in New Hampshire.

Do you know the location of the two weathervanes in post #389?  Scroll down to find the answer.

Weathervane  #1





Weathervane #2




These two mermaid weathervanes were spotted while driving down Ocean Drive in Seabrook, New Hampshire.  This neighborhood is known as the Beach Village District, right on the ocean.  The first mermaid was three dimensional with a tail with patterned scales, and a detailed face and hands.  The second mermaid is two dimensional, without any details.  Both weathervanes are small, but the houses are also small and the street is narrow.  While you are driving slowly you can take the time to stop and admire these two weathervanes on this street.  Both are within a block or two of each other.

According to the Seabrook town records, the Beach Village boundaries include all the property on both sides of Route 1A between the Massachusetts state line on the south and the Hampton town line line to the north. The Beach Village District of Seabrook was established in 1947.
