Photo Challenge #396

Posted on July 31, 2022 | 27 Comments

Most backyard sculptures are enjoyed by whoever lives in the house, and anyone fortunate enough to be invited over.

The backyard of one Beachside Common home is not like most.

The sculpture there is admired by anyone driving into Burying Hill Beach. It’s visible on the right, just across the marsh.

Lynn Untermeyer Miller, Seth Schachter, Michael Calise, Andrew Colabella, Richard Hyman, Ed Simek and Mary Ann Batsell all correctly identified last week’s Photo Challenge as that intriguing sculpture. Click here to see — and check it out the next time you’re at that quiet, quaint and very beautiful beach.

Now check out this week’s Photo Challenge. If you know where in Westport it is, click “Comments” below.

    Save Golden Shadows. Save and restore it.

    Silver shadow I believe is the name of the mansion on the barons property

  16. Dan Woog | July 31, 2022 at 12:41 pm |

    It is “Golden Shadows” — Baron Walter von Langendorff’s former “mansion” at what is now called Baron’s South. It was hardly a mansion, and now it is rapidly deteriorating.

    Richard Stein: You got the right place but the wrong color.

    As for “Golden Showers”: sorry. This is a family blog!

    Yes , Golden Shadows, pictorial proof of its neglected maintenance!

  20. Susan Iseman | July 31, 2022 at 2:53 pm |

    Thanks for sharing the interior photos. Surely, something can be done to preserve this property?

  21. Tara Curruto | July 31, 2022 at 4:07 pm |

    Golden Shadows! Save it! Before P&Z and their personal political agenda take it over for more affordable housing to campaign off of in the future once they’ve turned our town into a city they came from!
