Mystery photos
MYSTERY: Send us your own mystery
Today’s Mystery Photo may seem to put items in an unusual place. Is this real, or some far-out gimmick. Send in your thoughts to elliott@gwinnettforum.com and be sure to include your hometown. Here’s an assignment for Forum readers. Send us in a Mystery Photo that you have taken, so as to stump our panel of readers. Don’t make them too remote, and look for photos with some landmark significance that will help those trying to sort it out.
MYSTERY: Where’s this converted Volkswagen?
Looks like the Mystery Photo is a converted Volkswagen, now an eatery, with stools and a bench. This food truck could make your mouth water. The diners seem to be enjoying themselves. Now tell us where you think it is located. Send in your thoughts to elliott@gwinnettforum.com and be sure to include your hometown.
MYSTERY: How George Graf identified the recent photo
This edition’s Mystery Photo shows mansard roofs, reminding you of traditional architecture from an European castle. But are they? Figure out where this is and send your thoughts to elliott@gwinnettforum.com. Be sure to include your hometown.
ONLY ONE PERSON identified the cruise ship and location of the last Mystery Photo. It came from George Graf of Palmyra, Va., who said that the photo was taken from “The Battery which lies under the slopes of Signal Hill in St. John’s, Newfoundland.”
MYSTERY: Even the weather could be a clue
Identification of this edition’s Mystery Photo could be easier than usual, with lots of clues staring you in the face: a ship, water, the weather and a harbor. Granted, this may be difficult to identify. Now figure out where this photograph was taken. Send your best idea to Elliott@brack.net and include your hometown.
