A number of readers guessed that last week’s Photo Challenge showed a view from Longshore.
Not all of them placed it correctly, though.
It was the golf cart shed. Actually, Sandy Rothenberg’s shot was taken through it, out toward the practice putting green, river and Saugatuck Shores. (Click here to see.)
A tip of the caddy’s hat goes to Seth Schachter, Diane Bosch, Vanessa Bradford, Dave Eason, Andrew Colabella, Seth Braunstein, Mike Mills, Linda Vita Velez, Linda Stern, Micheal Simso, Martha Witte, Clark Thiemann, Kevin McCaul and Nathan Greenbaum.
You don’t need to be a golfer to know today’s Photo Challenge. You just have to keep your eyes open, for this colorful hidden-in-plain-view image.

Sylvan Road S, Stony Brook.
Wherever it is, there’s an early 1950s ( or late 1940s) house bordering the water.
View from the bridge on S Sylvan across from Saviano Lane!
I believe Sylvan Road south – nice pic !
Near the intersection of Gilberties Farm and a fork in the road
Impressive responses (though Pat Saviano had inside knowledge). It is indeed the view of Stony Brook from the bridge on Sylvan Road South — across from Saviano Lane.
I can’t find this! gps said left onto stony brook but then right on wood side.
I’m lost.
Stony Brook…view from Sylvan Rd. A swan couple have been in the area for years…
Sylvan Lane, near Gilberties
Sylvan Road South intersecting with Stoney Brook. Beautiful spot!
Grew up fishing for minnows off of that bridge, and catching baby eels in the brook. It’s the bridge on South Sylvan.
Sylvan Rd south a ross the creek facing Sylvan tennis courts.
Wish I had gotten to this sooner because this is instant recognition having grown up on North Sylvan (before it was called North) and knowing South Sylvan very well. It was always called South
chiming in to confirm my experiences of driving past this idyllic view — often adorned with a couple of swans— on Sylvan Rd. another hidden gem in Westport
This looks like the building in the middle of sylvan road when you go around to get to Gilberties. Unfortunately, that’s all I know to describe it!
The property and garden is owned by Dr. Kenneth Lippman, a fascinating person who was a Captain in the Army Medical Corps during the Viet Nam War. His wife (I call her Dr. D) was Captain in the Army Nurse Corps at the same time. The garden is just as fascinating: it is comprised of gardens within gardens…. all in a very small footprint. It was once on the Hidden Garden Tour when the Westport Museum of History and Culture ran those.
