Bank of New England, Windham, New Hampshire for Weathervane Wednesday

 This weathervane was photographed in Windham, New Hampshire. 

I spotted this weathervane in Windham, New Hampshire, near exit 3 off Route 93.  Usually I see it while I'm entering or exiting the highway, so I don't have a chance to pull over and get a good photo.  Last month I was in the passenger seat of our convertible when we passed by, so I got a photo with my cell phone.  Sorry for the slight blur from zooming in from far away! 

This weathervane is two dimensional, but it appears as if the lighthouse is three dimensional.  There is also a silhouette of a sailboat to the left of the lighthouse, and a fish to the right.  I enjoy the details of this weathervane very much!  The sun often reflects off the lantern at the top of the lighthouse, so it is very noticable from a distance. It must be made of a glass prism, which is very interesting!

The Bank of New England in this location dates to around the time exit 3 was reconstructed around 2015 when Route 93 was widened to four lanes from the Massachusetts border to Manchester, New Hampshire. This project was completed in 2021.  The Bank of New England has been a privately held bank in Salem, New Hampshire since 2007, and it is not related to the now defunct Boston based Bank of New England. It's logo is the lighthouse, just like the old Bank of New England, symbolizing safety and shelter.
