Adolphus Busch Hall. GX1, Leitz Telyt-V 280mm.

This rather complex confection resides atop the tower of Adolphus Busch Hall on the Harvard campus. I'm not sure if it is a weather vane or merely ornamental. Either way, it's a step up in sophistication from the moo-cow weather vane Blipped here last week. The building is named for the one-time president of the Anheuser-Busch beer empire who ponied up a substantial amount of money for its construction between 1912 and 1917. It used to house the Busch-Reisinger Collection of art (unique in North America) from the German-speaking countries of Central and Northern Europe. My information is by way of Wiki and the article can be viewed here for more.
