What’s this structure doing in the midst of this mountainous area? There’s a reason. Figure out where this photo was made and send in your answer to elliott@brack.net and include your hometown.
Last edition’s mystery photo was spotted by three individuals, with George Graf of Palmyra, Va. coming in with the first answer: Havana Harbor, Havana, Cuba. He writes: “Faro Castillo del Morro is the lighthouse in the background. It was built in 1845 on the ramparts of the Castillo de los Tres Reyes Magos del Morro, an old fortress guarding the harbor of Havana. Morro Castle is named after the three biblical Magi, and was begun in 1589 and finished in 1660. Spanish word “Morro” means a rock which is very visible from the sea.” The photo was sent in by Jerry Colley of Lilburn.
Also figuring out the right answer was Bob Foreman of Grayson and Susan McBurney of Sugar Hill.
