MYSTERY PHOTO: Try your hand at pinpointing this library

Recognizing the most recent mystery was Jean Harrival of Duluth, who wrote: “Head out to Vegas, visit the Bellagio: the Bellagio’s outdoor musical fountain, the Bellagio’ Conservatory and botanical gardens, and for sure the Bellagio’s chocolate fountain then walk the Strip. See Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area,   and those ‘painted rocks’ along S. Vegas Boulevard, approximately 10-miles south of the Strip. It’s a fun area, with lots more to do than gamble.” The photo came from Bruce Johnson of Lawrenceville. 

Sara Rawlins of Lawrenceville added: “This is a photo of the Seven Magic Mountains art installation near Las Vegas in the Mojave Desert. Ugo Rondinone is a Swiss artist who got funding from the Nevada Museum of Art and Art Production to make this art piece. It opened in 2016 and was to close two years later. However, because of the popularity of the Seven Magic Mountains, they decided to close it in 2021. It is still there today and may be moved to another location when the lease ends with the Bureau of Land Management which expires in 2026.The piece has been interpreted as the seven-mountain range in Germany where fairytales are located. Or it is the seven mountains in the book of Revelations which may refer to the seven hills of Rome. It’s very colorful, to say the least.”

Others identifying this photo included George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Barbara Knox Luckhurst, Duluth; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Kay Montgomery, Duluth; Stew Ogilvie, Rehobeth, Ala.; Virginia Klaer, Duluth; Elaine Still of Braselton; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas. Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill sent in a photo of the site (below) from the highway.
