Look at how this structure is built, with the massive steel overlapping the area. If you’ve been to this city, you might recognize this popular tourist attraction. Now figure out where it is and send in your thoughts to elliott@brack.net and be sure to include your hometown.

16-1115-mysteryWe thought that the buildings on the horizon, the harbor, and the colorful houses would be a dead giveaway for last edition’s Mystery Photo. But not so.  Only George Graf of Palmyra, Va. recognized this mystery, correctly saying: “Saint John’s Harbor, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. St. John’s, the capital city of Newfoundland and Labrador, is the oldest and most easterly city in North America.  It is located on the Avalon Peninsula in the southeast corner of the island of Newfoundland. It is closer to Dublin than Vancouver and is just 3.5 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time.  Cape Spear National Historic Site with its great lighthouse is the most easterly point in North America. About a 20 minute drive from St. John’s.”

The photograph was taken from the balcony of the house where most of the Brack family vacationed last July.
