Riverside Avenue is a (very) well-traveled road.
But because most people are intent on getting somewhere — the Post Road, Saugatuck, I-95, wherever — they don’t see the sights.
Like the river. Or — just in front of it, in a yard opposite Saugatuck Elementary School — 2 sculptures by the late Kelley Spearen, a 1971 Staples High School graduate.
I guess that’s why only 2 readers correctly identified last week’s Photo Challenge, which showed those works on a Riverside Avenue property. (Click here to see.)
Congratulations to Brendan Baker and Andrew Colabella.
For the rest of you: Slow down. Enjoy the view. There’s art everywhere — even on one of the busiest streets in town.
Today’s Photo Challenge is here. If you know where in Westport you’d see this, click “Comments” below.

Good one, Eric. You’re right!
This is town’s maintenance building – near canal park – I believe it also has a neat cupola too.
I wonder how many people remember this as the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company Building, This is where you would go to pay your water bill.
