Well, I guess I didn’t crop last week’s Photo Challenge challengingly enough.
More than 2 dozen readers instantly the scene: the Sherwood Island Connector, at the Nyala Farm Road intersection. (Click here to see.)
The reason it was posted was because, as photographer Mark Mathias noted, there is a button there for pedestrians to push, turning all the traffic lights red — even though there is no crosswalk or sidewalk.
No pedestrians, either.
Chris Swan pointed out that it’s a route some people take, walking to Sherwood Island State Park from the I-95 commuter parking lot. (There is no fee for vehicles with Connecticut plates — so maybe it’s a New York thing?)
At any rate: congratulations to Dave Eason, Tom Feeley, Janice Strizever, Brian Taylor, Seth Braunstein, Seth Schachter, Diane Silfen, Fred Rubin, John McKinney, Sal Liccione, Wendy Sellers, Dan Vener, Leslie Aronson, Karen Amaru, Edward Bloch, Kenneth Gilbertie, Michelle Scher Saunders, L. Zlatkin, Ann Bacharach, Scott Brodie, Bonnie Scott Connolly, D. Ergan, Matt McGrath, Jeff Van Gelder, Peter Hirst and Holly Miller Watts.
Some of those readers haven’t lived in Westport for years. Still, they recognized the location.
I’ll try to do a better job cropping in the future. Starting with this one:
