Only three readers recognized a fairly obvious tower as the last Mystery Photo. The three were George Graf of Palmyra, Tex., Lou Camerio of Lilburn and Jim Savadelis of Duluth. The photo came from Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. 

Graf wrote: “This is the Tower of the Americas in the background and Alas de México (Wings of Mexico) in the foreground, in San Antonio Texas. The Wings of Mexico bronze sculpture was gifted by Mexico City to San Antonio to celebrate the city’s tricentennial. Located in downtown San Antonio, the 750-foot-tall Tower of the Americas provides the most spectacular view of the city. The tower offers a gorgeous panorama from the revolving Chart House Restaurant, terrific scenery from the Observation Deck and a chance to experience the thrilling 4D Theater Ride.”
