Our previous Mystery Photo

Last week’s mystery, “Few clues to this stumper,” got three answers, only two of which were correct.  The two sleuths, Justin White of James Island and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, came up with the answer in two different ways.

White said recognized the location, which was between 1572 and 1574  E. Ashley Ave  on Folly Beach “because my boat  hit oyster shells there at low tide.”

Peel relied on computer wizardry and detection: “First, I noticed what appeared to be both towers of the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge Bridge in the far-right (about 1/3 down in the frame) of the mystery photo, and that the sunset was appearing to the left of the frame. This suggested the photo was taken facing northwest along the wetlands of Folly Island. I then searched close-up views of the area using Google Maps Satellite View, searching for boardwalks facing northwest across the wetlands in this area, and found a PERFECT match of length and type of boardwalks around the property at 1572 E. Ashley Ave. After searching for more information on this property, I found that it was listed for sale and purchased in April 2017. I was even able to find a YouTube video showing an aerial view of the property and the boardwalks near that location. If you would like to see that video, check it out here!”

Great job, guys! (Sorry about the boat, Justin.)
