Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
The first 7 answers to last week’s Photo Challenge were incorrect.
Burying Hill Beach? Camp Mahackeno? More than half a dozen guesses missed what I thought was a slam dunk: the out-of-place-looking hill in Winslow Park, halfway between Compo Road North and the Playhouse parking lot.
But then you came through.
Eighteen readers nailed it. Several remarked on the oddness of the topography. One called it “funny”; another, “creepy.” (Click here to see.)
The hill might not be natural. One theory is that it’s built on remains of the mansion — later, a sanitarium — that anchored the property from the 1850s through the 1970s.
Whether or not that’s true, congratulations to Leigh Gage, Jerry Kuyper, Tom Talmadge, Regi Kendig, Karen deMille, Andrew Colabella, Cat Malkin, Chip Stephens, Daniel Maya, Sal Liccione, Sally VanDevanter, Dan Ashley, Brooks Sumberg, Robert Grodman, Duane Cohen, Mary Stewart, Matt McGrath and Sally Palmer.
You weren’t first. But you were right.
Today’s Photo Challenge is a bit more artistic than most. The game is the same, though: If you know where in Westport you’d see this, click “Comments” below.
