Above the Methodist Church - Weathervane Wednesday

This simple weathervane was photographed on the steeple above the Church of the Good Shepherd in Newport, New Hampshire.

This simple arrow has a sun vane to push it in the wind.  It is two dimensional, and quite large as we saw it from far away as we drove through the town of Newport.  This church was built in 1851.
