A Dragon! for Weathervane Wednesday

 This weathervane was photographed over a private residence in Concord, New Hampshire

This three dimensional dragon was found on a garage cupola on South Main Street, Concord, New Hampshire.  It's an adorable and whimsical dragon, and I've driven this way for years and never noticed it until winter when all the leaves were off the trees.  It is hard to see when you are whizzing along South Main Street/Route 3A, and very hard to pull over in the traffic and take a good look.  

This dragon has all the details - wings, scales, and an amazing long tail.  It stands above gilded cardinal points (north, south, east and west).  It must have special meaning to the homeowners.  Dragon weathervanes are fairly rare, but I'll post links to three down below for those who are interested.
