    OH NO! I sure don't want to volunteer to put a new one up. (I'm afraid of heights.)

    The snow looks a bit like powered sugar sprinkled on the tower.

    I didn't take it.
    Have FIDES, maybe it will be found.
    That's sad, that a thing of such symbolic importance would disappear.

    Maybe it decided to fly somewhere warmer in south...
    God bless you!

    You could write a thriller... :-)The weathervane was gone and a body was found lying in the snow below the tower...

    Ha, that's a relief! So glad it was just a case of a photoblogger and deceiving angles.
