MYSTERY: Here’s another beautiful picture asking where it’s located

16.0329.mystery

With the last Mystery Photo being a relatively easy one, this week’s selection might be a little harder. But isn’t this a beautiful scene, with the land and water bumping up in what is obviously a town setting. But where is the town and what is the structure in front?  Perhaps a few clues will guide you. Send answers to elliott@brack.net with your home town.

16.0325.mysteryWhen eight different readers get a right answer, the photo must have been easy. First in last week was

Neal Davies, Decatur with the right answer — Mount Saint Helens. It was from a photo relayed to us by Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill.

Also getting the right answer were Bob Foreman, Grayson; Debbie Krewson, Flowery Branch; Tim Keith, Sugar Hill; Mike Wood, Peachtree Corners; Randy Sutt, Duluth; and Becky Panetta, Dacula. Sending in lots of detail was George Graf of Palmyra, Va., who wrote: “Mount Saint Helens is an active stratovolcano located in the Cascade Mountains, Skamania County, Washington, in the Pacific Northwest. Making the first European sighting was Commander George Vancouver and the officers of HMS Discovery on May 19, 1792, while surveying the northern Pacific Ocean coast. Vancouver named the mountain after British diplomat Alleyne Fitzherbert (1753-1839), then had a newly created title of Baron St. Helens.  St Helens is a town on the Isle of Wight in England.”
