THE LAST MYSTERY PHOTO didn’t fool some of GwinnettForum readers. Last week’s mystery photo was taken July 25 by Bob Foreman of Grayson. It is known as “Girl in a Wetsuit” at Stanley Park, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Several readers confused this statue with that of the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen, Denmark.
First to make the identification was Ruthy Lachman Paul of Norcross. Then came Ross Lenhart of Pawleys Island, S.C., saying: “That is ‘The Girl in the Wetsuit’ in Vancouver, Canada”.
From Kaiserlauten, Germany, Larry Zani said: “Your current mystery photo is the Mermaid statue in Vancouver’s Stanley Park. Note that she here is wearing the jersey of the Canadian team from the recent Women’s World Cup.”
Roy Holman of Snellville identified the photo, adding that the “statue on the north side of Stanley Park overlooking Vancouver ‘harbour.’; I initially thought it might be “the little mermaid” in Denmark, but the mountains in the background ruled that out.” Mary Swint of Lawrenceville added to the conversation saying that the harbor is in “the Strait of Georgia off the Pacific Ocean. It is known as Burrard Inlet.”

This Great White Egret is still around at Rhodes-Jordan Park in Lawrenceville. Roving Photographer Frank Sharp says: “I was fortunate this morning in seeing a Great White Egret (also known as an American Egret or Common Egret) on my morning walk. It was on the shoreline off the main boardwalk at Rhodes-Jordan Park. This is a most elegant and graceful bird that was almost hunted to extinction in the early 1800s. After an outcry from the early conservation groups, it was made a protected specie.”
