MYSTERY PHOTO: Interesting roofscape

My, my, this certainly is an interesting roofscape with hints of, perhaps, Turkey and France. But where is it specifically (more than just the town)? Try to identify where or what it is in this community. 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: Our May 6 mystery, “Swampy clue,” generated interesting guesses, such as Beidler Forest or Cypress Gardens. Bud Ferillo of Columbia joked that the swamp was the Statehouse in Columbia.

Our previous Mystery Photo: Our April 29 mystery, “Green art,” came from longtime photographer and reader Charles Boyd of Hanahan, who spied the topiary in Walterboro near a body shop. It wasn’t, as many guessed, in Bishopville where artist Pearl Fryar has a world-renowned field of carved shrubs and trees.

Our previous Mystery Photo: Our April 8 mystery, “This mystery may be too tough” was a beach scene sent in by Hanahan reader Chuck Boyd. And it was pretty tough as only two people guessed correctly that it was a sign on the Folly Beach fishing pier pointing to an artificial reef.

Our previous Mystery Photo: Our March 25 mystery, “Not for climbing purposes,” got two kinds of guesses.

Others correctly guessed Papa Joe’s Fireworks in Hardeeville near the other end of the interstate (exit 5) in South Carolina.
