Photo Challenge #543

You don’t need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows, Bob Dylan astutely noted.

I’ll add: You don’t need to be a congregant to know that last week’s Photo Challenge showed the weather vane atop Saugatuck Church. (Click here for the photo.)

The white building set behind a broad green lawn is one of Westport’s most recognizable landmarks. (Never mind that it wasn’t always there; in 1950, it moved diagonally from its previous site where — among other events — meetings led to Westport’s official founding in 1835.)

Anyone driving by (and stopped at the Myrtle Avenue light) has time to gaze at the church — and its weather vane.

Morley Boyd, Diane Bosch, Seth Schachter, Robert Mitchell and Andrew Colabella all knew exactly where.

And — in a rarity for our Photo Challenge — there were no wrong guesses.

Will there be any this week? If you know where in Westport you’d see this sight, click “Comments” below.

    Burying Hill Beach? I’m sure I’m wrong. How could I possibly be right with a family history of 122 years living in Westport? I’ve only been right twice.

  10. Dave Eason has the best description above: the golf cart barn at Longshore, looking out at the putting green, Saugatuck River, and Saugatuck Shores.
