The statue of a man looking down at the ground could have been anywhere in Westport.
A church, cemetery, nursery, Levitt Pavilion, Linxweiler House, Haskins Preserve, MoCA, Saugatuck, Town Hall, Community Gardens, Library, Earthplace, Parker-Harding Plaza … all were guesses, in last week’s Photo Challenge.
All were wrong.
It took nearly 3 days — and a hint from me (“town-owned property”) — for Andrew Colabella (of course!) to nail the location.
It’s hidden at Longshore, behind La Plage restaurant and the Inn.
Sure, Pat Saviano’s shot was obscure. (Click here to see.) But I’m surprised — with all the time people spend at the patio bar (and at weddings on the grass) that no one else knew the answer.
So it’s on to the this week’s challenge. If you think you know where in Westport you’d see this, click “Comments” below.

This can be seen at the corner of Post Road East and Roseville Road, across from McDonald’s. It’s Bert’s woodpile, subject of much intrigue, discussion and concern by many in town.
The wooden bear may have migrated west from the BP station at the corner of Post Road East and Maple Avenue South. But that’s above my pay grade.
Woodstock VT. “Fool on the Hill.”
Yes, I was going to send you a photo, but couldn’t find a safe way to take it. It’s Bert’s woodpile – although I’m not sure if he’s free from his tax woes.

The abandoned lot at the corner of Roseville and the Post Road where all the wood was piled.
in the wood yard at the corner of Post Rd and Roseville – it makes me smile!
The bear is at Bert’s tree lot. We ordered wood last week from there. I asked the man who we ordered the wood from why the sad bear face. He started laughing and said we need to ask the artist while still laughing.

On the corner of Post Road and Roseville Rd, diagonally across Sakura, there is a place where there are a lot of tree logs. The bear sits on the corner sadly.
