Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. identified the most recent Mystery Photo: “This is the Miami International Airport in Miami-Dade County, Fla. First opened in 1928, the airport currently serves over 100 different carriers, of which 60 are international carriers, making it the top US carrier for international freight and the third-busiest airport for international passengers. It is the largest airport in Florida and serves as the central hub for 17 different carriers, most notably American Airlines and American Eagle Airlines. Miami offers more flights to Latin America and the Caribbean than any other U.S. airport. It is the primary connecting point for cargo between Latin America and the rest of the country.” Also identifying the photo was George Graf of Palmyra, Va. The photo came from Rob Ponder of Duluth.
Last week we failed to identify the Mystery Photo of December 28. It was of the Christianborg Palace in Copenhagen, Denmark, sent in by Mickey Merkel of Berkeley Lake. Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill wrote: ““This is Borsen, a former stock exchange, which is beside Christiansborg Palace (seat of the Danish parliament) on the island of Slotsholmen in Copenhagen, Denmark. The spire is supposed to look like four dragons twined together.” Also identifying it were Lou Camerio of Lilburn and George Graf of Palmyra, Va.
