Today’s Mystery Photo we’ll label as difficult, for this photo is not on the Internet as such, and there are few, if any, distinguishing marks. So, it may be a hard puzzle to solve. If you think you have solved it, send your answers to elliott@brack.net, and be sure to list your hometown.
The last Mystery Photo was relatively easy, as several people recognized it. The photograph came from Lawrence Woodard of Lawrenceville. George Graf of Palmyra, Va. wrote: “Cape Neddick Light is a lighthouse in Cape Neddick, York, Maine. It stands on Nubble Island about 100 yards off Cape Neddick Point. It is commonly known as ‘Nubble Light’ or simply “the Nubble.” Cape Neddick Point is at the north end of Long Sands Beach in the village of York Beach. The lighthouse is inaccessible to the general public, but the nearby mainland is occupied by Sohier Park which offers a telescope with which to view the lighthouse and a gift shop with a ‘Nubble” theme.’”
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. contributed: “I expect there will be plenty of readers who correctly identify today’s mystery photo. It is the Nubble Light which sits on a rocky little ‘nub’ of an island (hence the name), 100-yards off the coast of York Beach, Maine. It draws an estimated 500,000 visitors annually. Incidentally, my wife and I visited this area in 2014, and I took the attached panoramic view of Nubble Light that captures the entire island that the lighthouse sits upon.”
Others recognizing the photo included Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; Channing Haskell, Peachtree Corners; Lynn Jacques, Snellville; Lou Camerio, Lilburn; Virginia Klaer, Duluth; and Jim Cofer, Snellville, who told us: “We visited this area in 2006, and my wife, Joanne, painted this view of the lighthouse.”
