Weather Vanes

**Babs** · 23-03-2008, 09:52 PM

When we are out and about I love to see the different kind of weather vanes. Here are a couple I have managed to get a shot of

The first one was taken at Eyam in Derbyshire the place where the Great Plague was

The second was taken on a caravan site......it made me laugh

***Chocky*** · 23-03-2008, 10:02 PM

Brilliant

This is a great idea for a thread Babs, have moved it into the photos section, as I'm sure that members can add to it as we go along.

**Babs** · 23-03-2008, 10:09 PM

That's great idea thanks rolf. I shall look for more when I am out and about.

The eye of a photographer knows no bounds Babs......nice and very well done.

Taken at St Ives in Cornwall

**Babs** · 09-05-2008, 06:26 PM

Spotted this one whilst walking to the most southerly point at the Lizard in Cornwall, it was quite far away but you can still make out what it is

**Babs** · 09-05-2008, 06:31 PM

This one doesn't have N S E or W on it but I think it's still a weather vane, I could be wrong though, this one is on top of the lighthouse at the Lizard in Cornwall

**Babs** · 09-05-2008, 06:36 PM

This one is was taken at Falmouth, Cornwall not quite sure what it's meant to be though, maybe someone knows and can enlighten me

**rolf** · 09-05-2008, 06:52 PM

Some nice ones there Babs, sorry, meant to keep an eye out when I was in France, but forgot.

**Babs** · 09-05-2008, 06:55 PM

doh

, what you like...........let you off, I really enjoyed looking for them

**rolf** · 15-05-2008, 06:36 PM

OK, my first weather vane, saw this one today in Hungerford, really stood out.

Just Googled it and it is the historic Hungerford Volunteer Fire Brigade building.

***Chocky*** · 15-05-2008, 08:25 PM

Well spotted

**Babs** · 15-05-2008, 10:30 PM

**Merlin** · 18-05-2008, 11:18 PM

A good subject for photography.....you won't be able to 'let go of them' now Babs, I reckon they are contagious.

Merlin Regular Member Info Real name: Pete Location: N W England Gallery: 6 Equipment: Nothing but my notebook which is one of the most important parts of birding. To go out without it (which I only ever did once) is like going out without your pants on. I've never understood why I responded to the 'Cameras and Equipment' question in this way because in reality I own a Leica Telescope with eyepieces, Zeiss Binoculars, and a Manfrotto Tripod all of which cost a positive fortune.
