Snow is still part of the scenery in many parts of the country. This peaceful, now quiet harbor area looks mighty cold as it’s evident that the snow is still piled up as we enter middle March. See if you can pinpoint where this scene is. Send your idea to ebrack2@gmail.com, and include your home town.
The last mystery photo, a gorgeous photograph of a massive library, was from Bruce Johnson of Lawrenceville, and was of the Rijksmuseum Research Library in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Ruthy Lachman Paul of Norcross recognized the scene: “The Rijksmuseum library in Amsterdam is one of the most beautiful places in the city. It is the national museum of the Netherlands and houses the most important collections of Dutch culture. Accordingly, the library includes the country’s main art book collection. Over the years, changes have been made to the building as wings and rooms have been added, which were built like patches without any overall direction. This lasted 12 years and has only recently been reopened to the public.
The library was first opened to the public in 1885. The renovation meticulously preserved its original character, which was designed in a style that combines Gothic and Renaissance features.”
Also recognizing the library were Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Bill McLees, Norcross; Kay Montgomery, Duluth; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Sara Rawlins, Lawrenceville; and Allan Peel, San Antonio, Texas, who added: “It is the only museum in the world with a public cycling tunnel and pathway running right through the middle of it!”
