When not looking at the road, drivers, cyclists, joggers and walkers on Compo Beach Road usually gaze at Ned Dimes Marina.
Whether filled with sailboats, powerboats and yachts in summer, or completely empty in winter, it’s a gorgeous, ever-changing sight.
But the view on the other side — the homes facing the water — is also alluring.
Set back from the street, they’re handsome, well-maintained and unique.
Enough “06880” readers notice them to ensure that — contrary to what I thoght — there were several correct responses to last week’s Photo Challenge.
Linda Stern, Michael Szeto, Matt Murray, Andrew Colabella, Jeff Laska and Goldie Winn all knew that the statue in Ed Simek’s photo stands in the front lawn of 53 Compo Beach Road. (Click here to see.)
That’s “the yellow house with the li’l robotic lawnmower,” Andrew notes.
Now, let’s kick off Memorial Day month with this Photo Challenge.
If you know where in Westport you’d see this, click “Comments” below.
HINT: It’s not at Veterans Green, across from Town Hall.
