Photo Challenge #486

I’m often surprised at how many readers nail what I thought would be difficult Photo Challenges.

And how few get those I think are easy.

I’m not a golfer. So when Richard Hyman submitted a shot of a little colonial figure holding what could be a flag — but could also be a tee marker — I figured many readers would ace it. (Click here to see.)

Turns out, only Fred Rubin, Andrew Colabella, Jonathan McClure and Seth Braunstein did.

Perhaps it’s because, as Seth said, they’re only used for special events.

Or maybe everyone else was watching the Masters.

Or playing golf at Longshore themselves.

Now it’s on to this week’s Photo Challenge. If you know where in Westport you’d see this happy face, click “Comments” below.

  1. Total guess… it looks like it could be part of the ellipsis at the Library?

  6. Pretty certain from Westport Library –just not sure where in the library. Maybe the Cafe????

  7. Of course, it is the Westport Library. This is the clock outside the Children’s Library, visible from all spots on the main floor. Today’s view is from the Trefz Forum, looking away from the stage.

  10. The clock above in Trefz Forum, on other side of and below circular window in Children’s Library. It has always fascinated me.

  11. Mr Vener is also correct. The clock is designed to represent the Library’s ellipsis trademark. There are numerous other allusions to ellipses throughout the building.
