Our previous Mystery Photo

Our Sept. 30 mystery, “Colorful building” showed beautiful murals at the Martin Luther King Jr. pool in the upper part of Charleston on Jackson Street.

Congratulations to those who correctly identified this mystery:  Chris Brooks of Mount Pleasant; Marnie Huger of Richmond, Va.; Stephen Yetman of Charleston; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas.  

Graf and Peel provided more context from the same source, enoughpie.org: “The Martin Luther King Jr. poll mural is 80 feet of colorful mural artwork in Charleston’s Eastside celebrating our beautiful ocean and offering a message of conservation to the future.  Over 10 local community artists collaborated to create a mural at the historic MLK Jr. Pool with partners like the City of Charleston Parks and Recreation and The Nature Conservancy. Eighty feet of seascape featuring jellyfish, sea turtles, coral and water connect swimmers at the city pool to the natural resources off the S.C. coast, only a few blocks away.  A child-focused pledge shares three key ways to conserve our oceans. A hand-print where kids “take the pledge” is a popular interactive part of the mural.”
