We’ve enjoyed the saying: “Things are not always what they seem; but then, they never were.”
This could apply to this edition’s Mystery Photo. Figure out where this photograph was made, and send your answer to elliott@brack.net, and tell us where you live.
The last mystery photo, said Billy Chism of Toccoa, “Is an easy one… Atlanta Botanical Gardens. Definitely worth a visit. The giant Origami sculptures add to the magic.” The photo came from Sara Rawlins of Lawrenceville.
Several others chimed in with answers, including Margot Ashley of Lilburn; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; John Titus, Peachtree Corners; Lou Camerio of Lilburn and Geoge Graf of Palmyra, Va., who told us that “Hero’s Horse weighs 7,500 pounds.”
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. gave a full answer: “Today’s mystery photo is one of many metal sculptures that are part of the temporary “Origami in the Garden” exhibit at the Atlanta Botanical Garden in Atlanta. The exhibit is advertised as the largest-ever exhibition of massive origami-inspired sculptures by Jennifer and Kevin Box. It features 18 installations of nearly 70 metal sculptures inspired by the Japanese art of folding paper.
“All of the sculptures are larger than life, with some more than 20 feet tall, with ‘Hero’s Horse,’ the heaviest. The exhibit is scheduled to close after October 16.”
DAR chapter distributed free books at Elisha Winn Fair
During the 43rd annual Elisha Winn Fair on October 8-9, attendees got to choose from over 1,000 used free books, donated as part of the Philadelphia Winn Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution’s Literacy Promotion Committee. Working jointly, members of the DAR and the Gwinnett Historical Society explained the history of the 1812 house which belonged to Elisha Winn, where Gwinnett County was formed in 1818. The county officials met first and held court in the home’s parlor. DAR members helping with the books are from left Valerie Craft, Maryland McCarty, and Carol Pangle.
