This edition’s Mystery Photo is a straight and narrow path between two plateaus, with a train traversing a bridge in the background. Just where is this? What’s the significance? Tell us if you think you with an email to elliott@brack.net, and be sure to include where you live.
We thought that the last week’s Mystery Photo might be a stunner. Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill thought it was in Barcelona, Spain, by being a detective and recognizing the bus in the background, and seeing someone reading what appears to be a map on the steps. She did not recognize the statue, however.
But Ruthy Paul of Norcross pinpointed the mystery: “This is in Barcelona, near El Triangle, a shopping mall at the Plaza de Catalunya. The name of the statue is La Dessa or La diosa or “The Goddess,” and the sculptor is Josep Clarà i Ayats (1878–1958), a Spanish Catalan.” The photo was sent in by Tom Merkel of Berkeley Lake after a recent cruise to the area.
