Only three people got the most recent MysteryPhoto. The photo came from Cindy Evans of Duluth.
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. scored with his answer of “….Umbrella Sky where hundreds of colorful umbrellas are suspended in a mid-air canopy form over Showstreet, the main street through the center of Tennessee’s Dollywood Park. It’s part of Dollywood’s annual Flower and Food Festival, which takes place from April to mid-June each year. Dollywood is a theme park that is jointly owned by Herschend Family Entertainment and country singer/songwriter Dolly Parton. It is located in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., near the gateway to The Great Smoky Mountains. It hosts ~three million guests each year, making it the biggest ticketed tourist attraction in Tennessee.”
Umbrellas in Portugal.
Peel also wrote: “One finds that the idea for Umbrella Sky originated in Portugal, where a company called Sextafeira Producoes created the first Umbrella Sky installation in Agueda. The idea quickly gained popularity and has since spread to cities around the world, including Paris, Madrid, and Tokyo. Dollywood introduced its version of the Umbrella Sky in 2020.”
Only two others also recognized the photo: Steve Ogilvie, Lawrenceville; and George Graf, Palmyra, Va.
