Readers were a perfect 7-for-7 last week.
Everyone knew that the whimsical image — hard to describe, so click here to see — in our Photo Challenge came from Sherwood Mill Pond, between the 2 sets of tidal gates.
Andrew Colabella, Chris Swan, Seth Schachter, Karen Como, Micheal Simso, Tom Feeley and Dana Kuyper nailed it.
Though none of them offered an explanation of who put those things there.
Today’s Photo Challenge is more straightforward (though also a bit odd).

Light post at corner of 136 Main Street. Nearest landmark store, Brandy Melville.
To answer for last weeks photo challenge, the public walkway is a utility easement for the tidal gates maintained by the town and funded partnership with state.
To the left of the walkway, is private property, and utilized for means of access to the oyster farming in the pond.
This is where the oysters are “born” and after a couple years, are moved to the Saugatuck River.
That’s the lamp post right next to Brooks Corner on Main Street!

base of light post – on Main Street pretty close to that trendy teen store with the loooooooooong lines to enter (at times). Brandy Melville
Dan, I think the whimsical image near the tide gates is just a rack where an oyster worker hangs his waders to dry at the end of the day.

Must be the base of a lamp post on Main Street.

Lamp post on Main Street
It’s in front of what used to be called Brooks Corner (not for the Brooks Brothers store there, but for the Brooks Community Newspaper’s Westport News, which used to have its offices there — because the Brooks family owned the small shopping/office plaza.
Now it’s called something like “Main & Elm” or “Elm & Main” — so forgettable, I forgot it.
