Photo Challenge #524

Posted on January 12, 2025 | 22 Comments

We eased into 2025 with one of our easiest Photo Challenges ever.

Nearly 3 dozen readers quickly spotted last week’s image as the sign hanging over the front door of the Saugatuck Rowing Club.

Apart from a couple of random guesses (Longshore, Fairfield County Hunt Club), nearly everyone knew the iconic Riverside Avenue spot. (Click here to see.)

Congratulations to Andrew Colabella, Joelle Berger, Barbara Mathias, Martin W. Gitlin, “TonyT@duck.com,” Janice Strizever, Vanessa Bradford, Robert Mitchell, Ed Simek, Linda Velez, Rachel Halperin, Micheal Simso, Will Gibson, Werner Liepolt, Seth Schachter, Harry Brady, Seth Braunstein, Michael Szeto, Sal Liccione, Tom Green, Michael Laux, Amy Schneider, Heidi McGee, John Lisée, Michelle Garvey, Mousumi Ghosh, Ivy Gosseen, Howard Potter and Colleen Williams.

Don’t rest on your laurels, though. This week’s is much tougher.

If you know where in Westport you’d see this, click “Comments” below.

    It’s Lynda Bluestein’s “wind phone,” in the Westport Library’s “Library of Things.” Here’s the very interesting back story: https://06880danwoog.com/2023/12/11/lynda-bluesteins-wind-phones-comfort-solace-at-the-library/
