Today’s Mystery Photo is primarily something of an artistic photo, and may be easy for some, hard for others. It also has no locational aspect, though the whole photo may be that. Try your hand at pinpointing what this photo is and its location. Send your answer to ebrack2@gmail.com, and include your hometown.
Recently Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C. was first in with the mystery solved: “Troldhaugen, home of Norwegian composer Edward Grieg, located in Bergen, Norway.” Then Lou Camerio, Lilburn, told us: “Troldhaugen, which means, ‘Home of the Trolls.’” The photo came to us from Michael Clark of Atlanta via Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill.
Also recognizing it were George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Stew Ogilvie, Lawrenceville; and Allan Peel, San Antonio, Tex., who told us: : “Edvard Grieg is to Norway like George Washington is to America and William Shakespeare is to England: his country’s most celebrated human icon. Grieg’s music has become part of the Norwegian identity, so much so that when Norwegians want to depict images and videos of their culture or identity, Grieg’s music will inevitably play in the background as scenes of the many fjords with spiraling mountain peaks and peaceful lakes are displayed. Today, the charming house in the mystery photo serves as the Edvard Grieg Museum and provides an insight into the life of the famous Norwegian composer.”
