The mountains, the buildings, the water….where is this area, in Europe, or perhaps Colorado, or you figure where it is. It certainly seems like a wonderful summertime setting. Send in your thoughts to elliott@brack.net and be sure to include your hometown.
Only the reliable George Graf of Palmyra, Va. was able to identify the most recent Mystery Photo. George writes that “the photo is of the Burlington, Vermont Lake Champlain Waterfront.” The photo was sent to us by Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill.
George adds: “Lake Champlain is situated between the Green Mountains of Vermont and the Adirondack Mountains of New York. The lake is named after the French explorer Samuel de Champlain, who encountered it in July, 1609. The naval Battle of Valcour Island took place on October 11, 1776, on Lake Champlain. The battle is generally regarded as one of the first naval battles of the American Revolutionary War, and one of the first fought by the United States Navy. Most of the ships in the American fleet under the command of Benedict Arnold were captured or destroyed by the British force.”
