The last Mystery Photo was dead on for a few spotters. George Graf of Palmyra recognized it immediately: “Looking down Princess Street from Waterloo Place in Edinburgh Scotland. The Balmoral Clock Tower is on the left.” Others dead-on with the photo included Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Matt Willis, Lawrenceville; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex.: “The clocktower in the left of the photo is part of the Balmoral Hotel. Originally owned by the North British Railroad Company, the hotel first opened on October 15, 1902. It was later purchased by Balmoral International Hotels and then closed for a major £23 million refurbishment between 1988 and 1990. It was officially reopened as The Balmoral (Gaelic for “majestic dwelling”) on June 12, 1991 by Edinburgh-born actor Sean Connery.”
The photograph came from Harriette Perlstein of Dunwoody, who took this photo two weeks ago. She’s a friend of Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill, who sent the photo to GwinnettForum.

Northern Lights last week way down south
Georgians know little about the Northern Lights. Yet this was the scene in the sky above Waynesville, N.C. Thursday night. The image was taken by Rhonda Johnson of Candler, N.C., an evacuee of Hurricane Helene, who was staying in Waynesville, N.C. at the same Bed and Breakfast as was our regular contributors, Susan McBrayer and Tim Keith. Look how clearly you can see the branches of the trees in this night time view. Isn’t it ironic that shortly after a hurricane hit the Appalachian Mountains, something unheard of, shortly you could see the Northern Lights in that same area!
