Ship Weathervane, Thomaston, Maine

I feel this is fitting for the first post of the new year since a weathervane conjures up ideas of determining how the wind is blowing, finding the right direction and setting a course for the journey ahead. The ship is symbolic of a voyage into the unknown (and what greater unknown than the future), while the house represents the safe harbor of home and family.
This was taken last fall during my sojourn through New England; found in a group of oversized nautical lawn totems at a closed-up roadside restaurant. There was also a giant lobster trap and wooden fish skeleton. The main restaurant building had the faux stern section of an old sailing ship protruding from one side (that will be tomorrow's post).
Great pic... keep it up!
