It’s an odd but enjoyable sight, for boaters, kayakers, canoeists, paddleboarders, and diners at Rive Bistro: a lighthouse, perched on the eastern bank of the Saugatuck River between the William Cribari and Ruth Steinkraus Cohen Bridges.
The white, wooden structure — in the back yard of a riverfront home — was last week’s Photo Challenge. (Click here to see.)
Andrew Colabella, Adam Starr, Ed Simek, Fred Cantor, Jalna Jaeger, Seth Schachter, Vanessa Bradford, Mary Ann Batsell, Jonathan McClure and Nancy Bloom all correctly identified it.
They disagreed though as to whether the exact location was Otter Trail or Oak Ridge Park. Both are streets off Imperial Avenue that lead to the river.
Richard Fogel — who took the photo — says it’s Oak Ridge. Either way, it’s a fun, funky scene.
Today’s Photo Challenge is one of my own photos. This new (I think) bench caught my eye, because it looks out on such a strange view. Of course, I cropped that part out, to not give it away.

Post Road area near the Ruth Steinkraus Cohen Memorial bridge?
Gonna go with Myrtle Ave near Sconset Square corner
Andrew is amazing. Yes – it’s at Sconset Square, facing Myrtle Avenue. I’m not sure why anyone would want to sit there, watching traffic, but it’s a nice bench nevertheless.
Oh yes, the bench to nowhere at the intersection of Church and Myrtle. Believe it or not, some humans occasionally sit on it. Nobody knows why. Maybe they’re lost.
Could be a good bench for watching the memorial day parade!
