MYSTERY: Maybe the toughest yet

Balance is good in life. Last week’s mystery turned out to be easy for many. So here’s a photo that may be the toughest photo puzzle ever. Your only hint is that it was taken in Charleston. 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 June 17 “whereisit” (as opposed to a whodunit) garnered more correct identifications than we expected, probably due to the obvious clue of the tail of a jet in a small part of the photo. Yes, the photo was a hanger at the Boeing plant adjacent to Charleston International Airport.
