Old business first: last week GwinnettForum printed that no one solved the mystery of a snow-topped mountain peak. That was wrong. One person submitted the correct answer, but we misplaced it. That person was Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill, who was proud she was the only one to get the photo ID right. Here is what we should have printed last week:
Susan wrote: “OK, this mystery was a hard one. Who would think that mountain tops could have so many different shapes? And the shapes can change dramatically, depending on which side of the mountain you’re on. My first thought is that this mountain was in the Pacific Northwest because of the desert-like land shown in the foreground. But I’m going to go with the Lanin Volcano in Patagonia on the border of Argentina and Chile.”
To be the only one who gets the mystery out, then get left out! That’s horrible. Our apologies for this oversight.
As for today’s Mystery Photo, there is some indication that the photograph was not made in Georgia. See if you can identify this mystery, and when you do, send your answer to elliottt@brack.net, and list your hometown.
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. was first in with the identification of the last mystery. He said: “Today’s mystery photo is of the Swaminarayan Gurukul Bal Sanskar Culture Center located at 2320 Meadow Church Way in Duluth. It is the home of the Atlanta branch of the Shree Swaminarayan Gurukul Rajkot Sansthan, a Hindu religious and educational organization with headquarters in Rajkot, Gujarat, India.
“The Swaminarayan Gurukul organization was first founded in 1947 and started its teachings of Sadvidya (Translation: ‘True Education” or ‘Good Knowledge’) on June 16, 1948, with seven students in a rented house in Rajkot. According to the web site for the Atlanta branch of Swaminarayan Gurukul Bal Sanskar, the cultural center was established in 2017 and has since served over 55 students ranging from Pre-K to 12th grade. Prior to 2017, the building was the site of a Zion International Mission Center that had been established in 2007.
Also getting the mystery dead-on were George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; and Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C. The photo was made by GwinnettForum staff.
