Often a good photograph will be a waterfall. If you have never thought of it, North Georgia is a great place to find waterfalls, particularly in the northeast mountains. Now here’s another waterfall in another area. Can you pinpoint the location of this waterfall? Send your idea to ebrack2@gmail.com, and include your hometown.
The last Mystery Photo was identified by Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, who told us: “This mystery photo is of the Metz Cathedral, officially known as Cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Metz, located in the heart of the city of Metz in France, approximately 175-miles east of Paris.
“Metz Cathedral is one of many cathedrals in France dedicated to Saint-Étienne (Saint Stephen in English), as he was the first Christian martyr after Christ, and was one of the few saints that is actually mentioned in the Bible. Construction of the cathedral began in 1220 and took more than 300 years to complete. It has a soaring nave that reaches 136-feet high, making it the third highest in all of Europe, just behind the Beauvais Cathedral (at 157-feet) and the Amiens Cathedral (at 139-feet).
“But the cathedral is most notable for the vast expanse of nearly 70,000 square feet of stained-glass windows — the largest collection in a single building in the entire world! Think about that for a moment … that’s over 1.6 acres of stained-glass! The windows span from medieval times to the 20th century, with three windows being designed by French artist Marc Chagall (1887–1985) and installed between 1958 and 1968. As a result of this remarkable display of stained-glass, Metz Cathedral has justifiably earned the nickname of the ‘Lantern of God.’” The photo came from Lou Camerio of Lilburn.
Other readers recognizing the photograph included George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Stew Ogilvie, Rehobeth, Ala.
