Yep, we like lighthouse photographs. It’s time to locate another lighthouse. Figure out where this one is located and send your answer to elliott@brack.net, including your hometown. Question: how long do you think it will take GwinnettForum to picture all the lighthouses in the USA?
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. provided an answer to the recent Mystery Photo. He writes:
“This mystery photo is of a row of medieval, half-timbered cottages in a former fishermen’s district, now known as Klein-Venedig (German for ‘Little Venice’), on Bamberg’s Island City along the banks of the Regnitz River in Bamberg, Germany. The picturesque houses were once inhabited by fishermen and their families and are squished together between Fischerei (German for ‘fishery’) street and the Regnitz River. Built in the Middle Ages, the little homes are balanced on poles set right into the water and are fronted by tiny gardens and terraces as the river flows slowly past them, just a few inches below ground level. The homes, and much of the surrounding city of Bamberg, twice survived devastation from two wars … the Thirty Years’ War and the Second World War.”
George Graf, Palmyra, Va., remembers the setting: “This is the ‘Little Venice’ area in Bamberg, Germany. Recognized it immediately. Been there. Beautiful city.” The photo was taken by Elliott Brack in 2018.
Weather Forecast: Even though it’s not summer yet, Roving Photographer Frank Sharp saw this ice cream van recently at Rhodes Jordan Park. Note the young fellow about to enjoy his treat. Frank says: “So I guess, with ice cream trucks arriving, can summer be far away?”
