Karen Burnett Garner was first in with the identification of the most recent Mystery Photo. She said it was “Torre Del Orologio (Mark’s Clocktower or the Moor’s Tower) in Venice, Italy.” The photo came from Ross Lenhart of Pawley’s Island, S.C. Other early arrivals with the right answer included Joe Hopkins, Norcross; Philomena Robinson, Flowery Branch; Chuck Warbington, Auburn; and Bob Foreman, Grayson;
Ruthy Lachman Paul gave a more detailed response: “Once you enter Venice’s Piazza San Marco, you will notice right away the old tower, which was built in 1496. The clock mechanism is running now and is the original mechanism of the clock from day one. At the top of the tower are two Moors striking the bell every hour. You can explore the inside of the tower and learn about the ancient mechanism. This became famous for the blue and gold watch center, featuring not only the day and time, but also the position of the moon and the stars in relation to the zodiac.”
Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill said: “The last time I was there, I sat nearby at a little outdoor cafe sipping hot almond tea and listening to a small orchestra play Vivaldi. So fine!”

SERVICE TO OTHERS: Greater Atlanta Christian Senior High students partnered with 7 Bridges Ministry to prepare more than 1,000 lunches recently. Organized by chapel class students, the service project gave the students an opportunity to serve others during school hours. Together, small groups brought sandwich-making supplies from home and prepared meals that were distributed by 7 Bridges to Atlanta homeless. Chapel student leader Molly Joseph, who helped organize the event, notes that “everyone can help end hunger no matter how old they are.”
