Photo Challenge #215

Posted on February 10, 2019 | 20 Comments

Years ago, Westport was one of the first towns in the Northeast to build a municipal skate park.

Since then, it’s offered thousands of kids a place to learn tricks, have fun, hang out and make new friends.

Of course, in these litigious times we can’t just open it up to anyone, anytime. Hence, the fencing and locks — which were the focus of last week’s Photo Challenge.

Andrew Colabella, Joyce Barnhart, Molly Alger, Wendy Cusick and Amy Scheider all quickly recognized the site of John Pollak’s photo (click here to see). Congrats! Perhaps Parks & Rec will give you a free pass as a prize.

This week’s Photo Challenge looks easy.

It’s not. To be recognized, you must describe exactly where in Westport these rocks are located. A general or vague description does not count! If you know, click “Comments” below.

    At intersection of Compo Rd South and Hillspoint Road. To the left of the jetty at Comp Beach on Soundview. It’s the small little triangular beach you an bring dogs onto year round.

    “Somewhere near the water” probably isn’t going to win…..Right?

    Right side of the jetty in front of the cannons.

    End of Canal Rd Saugatuck Shores

    Hmmm Could the lighthouse in the background be over in front of Norwalk harbor?

    Frost point

  10. Fred Cantor | February 10, 2019 at 12:29 pm |

    Southern point on Cockenoe.

    Just as I thought: Lots of guesses about lots of places in Westport. But Diane Silfen is correct: It’s the end of Canal Road, on Saugatuck Shores. Very good!

    I think this may be a view from Sherwood Island or Burial Hill. But I might be “missuaded.”

  13. Peter Barlow | February 10, 2019 at 12:52 pm |

    That was a good one! The clue was the absence of Cockenoe Island in the photo so it had to be from either east or west of Compo.

    I’ve taken a lot of photos of that formation. I clicked on this one to see it in full, and it is just GORGEOUS!

    Boat launch at Compo where he palm tree used to be

    This is a hidden gem- The lefthand breakwall on Canal Beach off Cockenoe Dr!

    the South Beach side of the Southwest most jetty (the one near the cannons)
