The way we look at today’s mystery, there are at least two clues that might help you identify today’s photo. Put your thinking cap on and try to figure it out. Send your idea to ebrack2@gmail.com, including your home town.
Carol Hassell of Suwanee recognized the last mystery, telling us: “It’s the new Veterans Memorial in Town Center on Main, Suwanee’s new town park., my home town.” The photo was taken recently by Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill.
Also recognizing the photo were Mickey Merkel, Berkeley Lake; Bill McLees, Norcross; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex.; and Jay Altman of Columbia, S.C., who added: “ The statue is named ‘Greater Good,’ and is located in Town Center on Main and DeLay Nature Park in Suwanee. Standing over 20 feet tall and with a diameter of 24 feet, it is comprised of six forms emerging from the reflecting pool in the park. The forms gracefully slope together and support each other as they rise to cover a circular area with a curved seating bench, the walls of which sit level with the water of the pool. The seals of each of the six branches of our military are represented on the walls, corresponding to the six rising forms.”
Peel told us the statue was “created by Michael Szabo, an artist from San Francisco who focuses much of his work on large stainless steel structures that often integrate seamlessly with stone and water into the landscape.”
