Photo Challenge #162

Posted on February 4, 2018 | 28 Comments

If you’ve ever been to the Westport Weston Family Y, last week’s photo challenge was a slam dunk.

Ed Simek’s photo showed the cow that sits on the flat roof. You see it from the spinning room, and by the stairs leading down to the pool, fitness center and locker rooms. (Click here for the photo.)

Ben Berkley, Lynn Wilson, Elizabeth Fry, Ann Bernier, Jalna Jaeger, Karen Kim, Art Schoeller, Martin Gitlin, Rick Benson, Kathy Fagan and Eva Lopez Reyman all recognized the cow.

They should. It’s been there since the new Y opened.

Which raises a few questions:

Where did it come from? Who decided to put a cow on the roof? In other words, Why, Y?

If you know the back story, click “Comments” below. And if you know where to find this week’s photo challenge, do the same.

    Clearly that one wasn’t hard 😉

    Wow. I thought this one would be VERY hard. You guys are GOOD! Yes, it’s the Ned Dimes Marina at Compo Beach, taken by a drone. Well done!

    Compo Marina from the air, likely a drone

    Ned dimes from a drone. It’s a great shot, and very fun to take from above! (this looks like from about 250-300 feet, if I had to guess)

    A nice pic of Ned Dimes marina from the air.

    Yes the marina at Compo beach, but I want to know the back story about the cow, no one commented on that!

    • Dan Woog | February 5, 2018 at 2:19 pm |

      Yes, Rick Benson did. He said it came from Lucy McKinney’s collection of fiberglass animals. She and her family — the Bedfords — are longtime benefactors of the Westport Y.

    Thanks Dan, good to know, didn’t see Rick’s post
