Here’s a wooden walkway leading to an interesting looking building. Where is this scene? Bonus points: What’s the building’s significance? Hint: It’s in the United States. Send your guess to ebrack2@gmail.com.
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, told us: “Today’s mystery photo is of the Looking Glass Falls, located in the Pisgah National Forest near the town of Brevard, NC, approximately 25 miles southwest of Asheville. The main falls are 60 feet tall and fed by the Looking Glass Creek, which flows off the Blue Ridge Escarpment.
“Unlike many other waterfalls in the area, a unique aspect of this site is its easy, year-round accessibility, making it one of the state’s most accessible and photographed waterfalls. In winter, ice formations around the cascade create a crystalline wonderland, while in summer, visitors often wade in the cool plunge pool below.
“If you look at these falls in the photo, you may be wondering why they are called Looking Glass Falls? The name comes from Looking Glass Rock, a nearby granite monolith that glistens like a mirror when icy water coats its face in winter. Early settlers were captivated by the reflective quality, and the name ‘Looking Glass’ soon extended to the surrounding creek and its iconic falls.”
Others with the right answer were George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; and Stewart Oglivie, Rehobeth, Ala.
