Today's weathervane post features "Two For One"! They were spotted on a house on Ocean Boulevard, near Rye Harbor.
These two copper three-dimensional weathervanes caught our eye as we were passing Rye Harbor recently. The weathervanes, and the cupolas, appear to be very new and very bright and shiny! You can't miss them. One is above the house, and the other on the garage behind the house.
The ship weathervane is a two masted sail boat with sails, rigging and flags flying from the masts. The heron is three dimensional with feather details on the wings and the long neck. Both weathervanes feature the cardinal points with large copper balls.
These maritime themed weathervanes are completely appropriate for this location, right across the street from the harbor, and with a large marsh behind the house.
