Westport is filled with peace.
Or at least, with peace poles.
The tall, slender, white objects — with messages like “May Peace Prevail,” in English and other languages — can be found in the Staples High School courtyard, at the Y and Earthplace, and in front of Town Hall and Saugatuck Elementary School.
None of those were the peace poles depicted in last week’s Photo Challenge, though.
That one can be found on private property: Sherman’s Way, the small road on Compo Road South. It was placed there by the Sherman family. (Click here to see.)
Suzanne Sherman Propp proudly (and a bit sheepishly) was the first person to correctly identify the site last week. Andrew Colabella was the only other reader with the correct answer.
That’s alright. Don’t worry. May peace be with you — wherever you are.
As I went fishing for this week’s Photo Challenge, I found the Westport Striped Bass Club.

Peace out.
