Photo Challenge #219

Posted on March 10, 2019 | 21 Comments

Last week’s gorgeous , snowy and sparkling winter scene could have been taken many places in Westport. That’s the beauty of our town.

But — as Barbara Greenspan, Fred Cantor, Rebecca Ellsley and Andrew Colabella noted — Michael Tomashefsky shot his lovely image of the Saugatuck River on Ford Road. It’s one of the prettiest spots anywhere. (Ever since the embalming fluid factory left, it’s a lot more pristine too.)

Click here for the photo. And don’t forget to drive along Ford Road — slowly — whenever you get a chance.

This week’s Photo Challenge may be one of those I-know-I’ve-seen-it-somewhere images. If you think you know where in Westport it is, click “Comments” below.

    It’s Masonic hall but I’ve always wondered the meaning behind it

    You can see photos of how the sculpture was installed on the facade of 210 Post Road East a few months ago:

    Will anyone EXPLAIN the emblem ?????

    It is indeed the sculpture on the front of the Masonic Lodge #65 building (with Harding Funeral Home on the ground floor), 210 Post Road East at the corner of Imperial Avenue.

    The sculpture is the Masons’ symbol. It depicts the square and compass used by stonemasons. (Freemasons trace their origins to 14th century stonemasons.) The “G” — sometimes used in the symbol, sometimes not — refers to either “geometry” or “Great Architect of the Universe” (God).
