Share weather vane shots

Yesterday I had to look up the English word for weather vane (Wetterfahne) to describe my daily pic. It was not a burner, but I got some kind comments and Cherrill @Cherrill and Luise @Weezilou had a good idea to start a thread with this theme. And I wonder too, how different weather vanes all over the world look like and from how many countries, we got entries in a week.

Wiki tells me: A weather vane, wind vane, or weathercock is an instrument for showing the direction of the wind. They are typically used as an architectural ornament to the highest point of a building.
They can be functional, decorative, beautiful, or like in my case, funny.

Mine is from Switzerland
There's a marvelous artist creating the weathervanes up there! Come to think of it, I have to go looking for some more around here...I just know they're out there!

You have got this beautiful silhouetted against that sky! I would think this is a fable but I don't know it - must investigate the story!

The Wishing-Table, the Gold-Ass, and the Cudgel in the Sack is a fairytale by the Brothers Grimm. The original German name is Tischlein deck dich, Goldesel und Knüppel aus dem Sack.
