From Carolyn Bourdeaux: Tuesday’s primary did not go the way we had hoped, so my journey in politics is coming to an end for now, but please know that I deeply appreciate your support both during this race and over the many years as we worked to flip Georgia’s 7th district. The friendships and community we have built has been one of the great joys of this experience.
As much as we like featuring lighthouses, covered bridges are also a favorite. Here’s another. Now, where is it? Send us your thoughts to elliott@brack.net and include your hometown.

One of his clarinetist musician buddies is from Ukraine, where he was once with the Kviv Radio and Television orchestra.
Yep, today’s mystery Photo is another lighthouse, though not a very tall one. One guy told us recently that perhaps one day we’ll use all the lighthouses in the United States alone. That may not be possible, for there are about 700 of them. Send in a photo of your favorite, and we’ll probably use it next. By the way, we get few photos of lighthouses in other countries. Send a guess of where today’s lighthouse is located to elliott@brack.net, and include your hometown.
The last Mystery Photo was recognized by several people. First in was Billy Chism of Toccoa: “It’s a beautiful structure in Prospect Park in Brooklyn.”
