Not only that, he made and gilded it himself. An extremely talented man, as well as being humble and modest.

I often look out from our third storey windows at our shop premises and admire the weather vane on the top of Holy Trinity Church on the opposite side of our street. That is a plain simple one and nothing like these incredibly attractive examples but oh how I miss it at the moment. Mixed feelings for me today but I have enjoyed seeing these so thank you.

I have passed this on to my colleagues and we are all resolved to look more carefully when we are allowed to return. Thank you for sharing them.

Atop one of our NY State Capital buildings is an 8-foot-tall working weathervane that is a replica of Henry Hudson’s ship “Half Moon”…….and we salute the Galleon atop the Abbey in your “neck of the woods”.

Onward and upward.

Can you tell us, please?

Closeup pictures include so much detail. This was a fun one to see. It’s a gloomy day here in the USA. It put a little sunshine to the morning.
