The large shell shaped rooftop features are symbols of the Florida setting. The architectural elements of this hotel are well lighted at night.”  The photo came from George Graf of Palmyra, Va.

Rob Keith of Peachtree Corners and Jim Savadelis of Duluth also spotted the photo and gave the correct answer.

Lack of rain shows drought being felt at Gwinnett lakes

Roving Photographer Frank Sharp found the area’s drought particularly showing up at City Lake of Rhodes Jordan Park. The lake has dropped about two feet. You can see the ever-increasing mud flats creeping from the shoreline. The second photo shows the rocks and shoreline at the far end of the lake. The spillway in the third photo shows the dry state, with no runoff.
