A Whale of a Weathervane for Weathervane Wednesday

 Today's weathervane was photographed at Peaks Island, Maine.

When we visited Peaks Island, Maine last summer we rented a golf cart to toodle around town.  A golf cart is perfect for slowly looking at the sights and spotting weathervanes.  This sperm whale was seen above a residence a block from the beach, which is very appropriate for a whale weathervane.

This two dimensional whale weathervane has lots of details.  The tail is lively, there are two little fins, and you can even see the whale's eye in profile.  It has a very nice weathered patina from being exposed to all the elements near the sea.  The most famous sperm whale is the fictional Moby Dick in the novel by Herman Melville.
