MYSTERY PHOTO: Tranquil scene

A reader from Alaska sent along this tranquil South Carolina scene.  It looked familiar to us, but does it to you? Where is it? Send your best guess to editor@charlestoncurrents.com. And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.

Our last Mystery Photo, “The sea life,” was kind of tough because fishing piers along the coast look similar.  It wasn’t at Folly Beach, Cherry Point, Pawleys Island, Garden City or Surfside Beach. But several people correctly identified this pier at Myrtle Beach State Park.  Congratulations to: George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Stephen Yetman and Kristina Wheeler, both of Charleston; Val Valenta and Jay Altman, both of Columbia; and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas.

Peel pointed out “that the mystery photo was taken before the damage caused by two hurricanes – Hurricane Matthew on Oct. 8, 2016. and Hurricane Florence on Sept 14, 2018 — during which the pier lost a few pilings. Some repairs had already been made following Hurricane Matthew, but most of the damage came from Hurricane Florence. “
