Once again, I was driving when I found this week’s weather vane. A sweet pig perched on top of a cupola. Do you see his wings?
Here’s a close-up of him. This weathervane is brass and has great detail, right down to the curl of the piggy’s tail. I found this weathervane in the town of Mantua, New Jersey.
“The phrase “when pigs fly” (alternatively, “pigs might fly”) is an adynaton—a figure of speech so hyperbolic that it describes an impossibility. The implication of such a phrase is that the circumstances in question (the adynaton, and the circumstances to which the adynaton is being applied) will never occur. ~Wikipedia
The Photo Challenge: Each Wednesday, I post a photograph of a Weather Vane with a short description of where it can be found and any history connected to it. The main focus of the challenge is the photo of the Weather Vane and the location. The challenge can be Wordless if that is what you choose. If you would like others to see your post leave a link to your blog in the comment box. You can also tag the post #weathervaneweds. If you place a link to my post in your post you will create a pingback that will appear in the comment section. The challenge is open all week for comments and posts. Thanks so much for taking part in my challenge.
Many thanks to Cee, of Cee’s Photography, for including this challenge in her listing of WordPress Challenges. If you love challenges take a look at this page and while you are there check out some of Cee’s terrific posts. Thanks Cee!

It is really shiny, and the sun wasn’t even that bright when I took it. It must be blinding in full sun. It’s been overcast here for what seems to be weeks.

I still do not know how you find so many of these vanes 🙂

I’ve seen a couple now while driving. I think I must live in an area where they are popular. I thought I was out of vanes here and then on the same day I found the pig I found another golfer at the local golf club. He will be my spare pic in case I can’t find anything new. Thanks for stopping by! I’m using my sweet Rose of Sharon sprout, which is now near three feet, as my post today.
