- In Riverside, Conn (Greenwich)….
- …there’s a bridge for Route 1 (the Boston Post Road) that passes over the Mianus River…
- …there’s a pathway to get down to the area below the bridge…
- …that might be illegal to walk upon…but it might just be a Country Club…
- …and it’s apparent that Club Members have been down here…
- apparent…because of the artwork/graffitti (cave art) found under the bridge…some of the art was yellow, blue and black with lettering…MT maybe?…and FC signed the top of the ‘T’…
...this piece in the 'group art show' resembled an aquatic creature delivering offspring in the form of black and gold egg-like orbs...
...the isolated section of the work is bountiful with color. A fractured thick blue line divides the 'story' from the rest of the graffitti. An hunched over red figure stands in the left segment of the work...black dots among a white background and green tear drops dominated the right half of this untypical wall art.
F A C is a common letter sequence under the bridge. Probably a club member.
Numerical stacking or Math is another feature on the steelworks. Adding up the dues maybe, or a golf score?
Some incomprehensable spray just said stuff.
Looking South from under the club's bridge.
a blue Club shirt is left to dry on the river's edge.
...a tree stump which seemed like it was placed there stuck in the mud...could be the club furnishings.
A restored image of this Club in the 1880's.
...as I approached a broken up cement area just above the muddy river bank...
...something unusual tweaked my eyes and brain as I drove over the Route 1 bridge...
...people drive over this bridge all day and night...
...people, they, we drive over this bridge everyday...listening to the radio, talking on the cell phone, looking straight ahead, looking around, seeing , not seeing....well this is what you probably missed and I didn't as I rode of the Route 1 bridge a few days ago...
...a young buck at the edge of the high tide line, nose touching awkwardly against a popular beverage container, seemingly upon inspection deceased of natural causes...
signs of other sporting activities (other than hunting that is) are evident. At this location two PVC tubes jut from the ground and supported by a rocks. The white tube is shown in this extrodinary image.
Is this a new Club in town? The Riverside Bridge and River Club maybe? Why are deer, beer, fishing poles and golf balls showing up at this club?
this is evidence of clubbing
it might be a trapping club too...something we had in Riverside recently with the coyotes, raccoons or turkey.
like any club this Club needs some help with their debris
some trick or treaters played a trick on them
if you're not a member...this is your view
if you are a member...this is your view!
