Several readers spot Eiffel Tower, taken from underneath
The last mystery photo didn’t fool several people. They recognized it as the unique view of the Eiffel Tower, taken by Donnie Loeber of Norcross.
Ruthy Lachman Paul of Norcross was first in, recognizing it as the “View into the Eiffel tower from below in Paris.”
George Graf, Palmyra, Va. sent along “Two fun facts about the tower. First, Victor Lustig, a con artist, “sold” the tower for scrap metal on two separate occasions; and second, “Gustave Eiffel kept a small apartment on the third floor for entertaining friends. It is now open to the public.”
Others recognizing the photograph were Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; Emmett Clower, Snellville; Howard Williams, Snellville; Bob Foreman, Grayson; Michael Varga, Norcross; Becky Panetta, Dacula; and Jim Savadelis, Duluth, who said: “It reminds me of an Erector Set when I was a kid.”
There is no Mystery Photo in this edition. But look for another mystery in the May 3 edition.
