I always liked that bridge. The round opening is quite rare. The wires seem surprisingly low. This is an excellent photograph. I like how the yellow line and the wires intersect with that thin line of clouds, contrasting with the round bridge. And then that classic barn in the distance. This is Westport as I remember – or is it Southport?
Greenfield Hill . just over the line into Fairfield
We used to drive that way on route to the Patterson Club sixty years ago, and it looks the same.
One of my favorite Westport vistas. Great photograph!
The dairy farm, barn shown, was owned by my great uncle
Clifford Brotherton and on his passing it was owned by my uncle ,through marriage, Everett Banks. The farm itself is in Fairfield.
