MYSTERY: Be careful and detect the clues

You might find two or three clues about this edition’s Mystery Photo. But you might have to look carefully. Send in your thoughts to elliott@brack.net and be sure to include your hometown.

The reliable George Graf of Palmyra, Va. was the only reader recognizing last edition’s Mystery Photograph, sent in by Scott LeCraw of Suwanee. George wrote: “It is only my guess, but I think it is Boothbay Harbor, a town in the county of Lincoln, Maine. Boothbay Harbor’s population remained surprisingly stable (approx. 2,000) in the 30 years from 1970 to 2000, though a modest decrease was reported in 2010. In the summer, tens of thousands of tourists roam the Harbor’s streets and frequent its restaurants and tour boats.  The town hosts the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, a private, non-profit research institution.  Funded primarily by federal grants, it cooperates with the Maine Department of Marine Resources in operating a Library and Information Center to support researchers, students and visiting investigators.”

Photographer catches sight of pennant recognizing Emory University

The latest Florida massacre reminded Roving Photographer Frank Sharp of a recent visit to Orlando, Fla. where while there he took a picture of the memorial at the Pulse night club massacre, now closed with a fence around it, where 49 people were killed. He noted he saw an Emory University pennant commemorating that medical school’s involvement in helping victims of the attack.
