The tidal gates regulating the health of Sherwood Mill Pond have been in the news lately. They need repair.
That doesn’t stop people — nearby residents, and those from further away — from standing on the bridges over the gates, and enjoying the view.
To one side is the pond itself, with its wildlife, boats and Hummock Island. On the other side is Old Mill. Between it is the handsome, gated Compo Cove community.
For decades, the bridge closest to the parking lot has been a spot not just for contemplation, but fishing and (illegal) jumping.
For that reason, I thought plenty of people would recognize last week’s Photo Challenge: the image of a bass, affixed to the bridge. (Click here to see.)
Surprisingly, only 3 readers — Andrew Colabella, Jeff Jacobs and Beth Berkowitz — knew the answer.
Maybe everyone else who loves that spot is too busy gazing in the distance to look down at the railing.
How much “time” will it take to guess this week’s Photo Challenge?
