Today’s Mystery Photo is something different, a painting, and some of you may recognize the artist. What we want to tease you with is what this painting reflects, and where the depiction is located. Add bonus points if you can tell us where this painting is hanging, and something about the artist.
Several people were able to spot the recent mystery, the Cape Meares State Park lighthouse, near Tillamook, Oregon. The photo came from Rick Krause of Lilburn.
Among those recognizing the photo were Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Stew Ogilvie, Lawrenceville; Michelle Scott, Covington; Lou Camerio, Lilburn; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; and Allan Peel, San Antonio, Tex., who wrote: “Since Cape Meares is 249-feet above sea level, the lighthouse itself did not need to be very tall. In fact, at only 38-feet high, it is the shortest lighthouse along the Oregon coastline. So while the lighthouse was “short in stature”, it was certainly “long in reach” as the light beam could be seen as far as 21-miles away!”

Loggerhead sea turtles are beginning their nesting season
Loggerhead sea turtles are most visible during the nesting season, which begins in early June and lasts through the end of July on the Georgia coast. The hatch often occurs in August. This photo of a turtle about to lay her eggs is from William Hicks of St. Simons Island, who took this photo on Jekyll Island.
The Georgia Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island is the Number One go-to spot to educate yourself on what is perhaps considered the most iconic animal in the Golden Isles. Learn about the journey the sea turtle takes when venturing out to sea and view gallery exhibits focusing on the sea turtle.
