The most recent mystery photo baffled a lot of people, with lots of wild guesses, one person even thinking it was a specific lake in the Adirondacks. Even the person who first recognized it, admits that he took the easiest course. Dr. Michael Gagnon, the GGC professor from Flowery Branch, wrote: “Just a guess, Lake Lanier? Honestly, I live on the lake and see these sorts of scenes often. In reality, it could be just about any lake. I guess the lake because of the depth markers in the water to warn boaters away. Anyone who boats knows to look for those as danger may be just below the surface in shallow water. Like in Jeopardy, when in doubt, go for the obvious answer.”
The photograph came from Buford City Commissioner and School Board Chairman Philip Beard.
While there were numerous guesses, only four more readers came through with the right answer, including Kay Montgomery, Duluth; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex., who said: “I will be shocked if anyone identifies today’s mystery photo with any real degree of confidence, as there are so many possibilities, even if just staying within Georgia. That said, and to follow your advice, I will make the leap of faith into Lake Lanier. I will go even further to suggest that it was taken somewhere near Buford Dam, but that might be stretching the imagination a little bit too far.”
Another expert spotter, George Graf of Palmyra, Va. was also perplexed by the photo: “Your photo is driving me berserk. I thought I found a very similar photo, but it is one used numerous times by Georgia Parks for different lakes. So, wild guessing Lake Lanier.”
