15.0612.mysteryFor the most recent Mystery Photo, we thought we might stump our readers. But several saw through our scheme, and proved that they indeed had looked up at the Eiffel Tower.   First in was Al Swint of Tucker who said: “This is looking straight up when standing in the middle of the tower. I remember the awesome feeling I had when first looking up several years ago.” The photo and perspective came from Andy Brack of Charleston, S.C.

Charles Blair of Lawrenceville reported that the tower “is…made of riveted cast iron. I’ll bet all of that paint over the years on the tower must weight as must as the iron these days.”

Others recognizing the photo included Joseph Hopkins of Norcross, Lou Camerio of Lilburn, Eddie Copeland of Peachtree Corners, Karen Garner of Dacula and Ruthy Lachman of Norcross who reported that Gustave Eiffel finished the tower “126 years ago on May 6.”

In the last edition, we failed to include among those spotting Akaka Falls the name of Libby Cromer of Lawrenceville. She saw the falls on a vacation to Hawaii.
