MYSTERY PHOTO: Wild blue yonder

This photo is in Charlston County, but it might not be where you expect it to be. There’s a big clue in the middle of it, but where is it? Send your guess to: editor@charlestoncurrents.com. And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.

Our previous Mystery Photo: The Aug. 27 mystery had a big clue at the left of the picture with a sign that said, “Loggerhead turtle area.” But which one? Folly Beach? St. Helena Island? Nope. It was, as a couple of sleuths figured out, the beach at Edisto Island State Park near a park building that overlooks the dunes..

MYSTERY PHOTO: Distinctive green roof is memorable

If you live in Charleston, you should know where this is. If you don’t live in the area, the photo might tease your brain a bit. Where is this structure and why was it erected? Send your guess to: editor@charlestoncurrents.com. And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.

Our previous Mystery Photo: The Aug. 6 mystery got the neurons flowing for photo sleuths who correctly identified it as the Haig Point Lighthouse on Daufuskie Island, an eight-square mile island between Hilton Head Island and Savannah.

MYSTERY PHOTO: The tall structure might be a clue

There’s a clue in the tall structure that’s staring you in the face. So where is this building … and what is it? Send your guess to: editor@charlestoncurrents.com. And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.

Last issue’s mystery: The July 30 mystery was easy for lots of folks who knew it to be the romantic bridge at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens.

MYSTERY PHOTO: This one should be pretty easy

There are two reasons we’re offering what should be a pretty easy mystery photo this week. First, the last couple of weeks have been particularly difficult. Second, we’d like to see if we can get the most number of correct guesses for a single photo. If memory serves, that means we’ll have to get at least 14 correct guesses. Send your best guess – plus your name and the town in which you now live – to editor@charlestoncurrents.com. In the subject line, write: “Mystery Photo guess.” (If you don’t include your contact information, we can’t give you credit!)

Last issue’s mystery: The July 23 extreme close-up mystery photo brought more correct guesses from out-of-towners (though some grew up here) than people who live in the area.

Last issue’s mystery: The July 16 mystery photo might have made your skin crawl – if you thought about all of the bugs you will encounter in the summer in the Congaree National Park in lower Richland County, which is where the photo was taken.

MYSTERY PHOTO: Imagine the bugs you’ll find here….

This week’s mystery may be one of the toughest ever. It shows a picturesque outdoor scene in South Carolina, but what and where in South Carolina is it? (We’ll give you a hint … It is NOT in the Lowcountry.)

Last issue’s mystery
The July 9 mystery photo showed a church that looked similar to a Barnwell church we showed a few months back. This one, however, was the Church of the Cross in Bluffton.
