You know that we love old mill photographs, and this week it’s a dandy. Wouldn’t you just love to laze around this beautiful spot, perhaps have a picnic, and just enjoy this handsome place? If you can figure out where this is, send your thoughts to elliott@gwinnettforum.com and be sure to include your hometown.
Last edition’s Mystery Photo we judged to be easy, and it was for several readers. First one in was Mike Tennant of Johns Creek, identifying the Morning Glory Pool in Yellowstone National Park. The photo was sent in by Susan Shenefield of Lilburn. She and her husband, Jordan, are summer workers at the park, where they first met.
Also recognizing the Yellowstone feature included Jimmy Simpson of Lilburn, saying: “I spent a week in the area just visiting this amazing wonder and photographing the park.”
Others recognizing it were Harriet Nichols, Trickum; Lou Camerio of Lilburn; Ruth Lachman Paul of Norcross; and George Graf of Palmyra, Va.
Howard Williams Jr. of Snellville wrote: “Morning Glory Pool is located in the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park. The pool was named by the wife of an Assistant Park Superintendent, in 1883, after she called it “Convolutus”, the Latin name for the morning glory flower, which the spring resembles. By 1889, the name Morning Glory Pool had become common usage in the park.”
