Our previous Mystery Photo
Retired Army Col. Barry Wingard of Florence sent in the mystery published April 20. It befuddled many, who offered great guesses of locations in Beaufort, Dillon, Myrtle Beach and James Island.
Alert sleuth Jay Altman of Columbia also had no solution for the mystery, until he drove past the location by coincidence. The photo is on Cherokee Road in Florence near Five Points and shows a shape of a white crescent moon over two palmettos, a scene similar to the state flag.
Wingard expounded that the area is a tribute that a Florence resident created for his late wife as a small private park and garden for all to visit. “The signature item is a crescent and palmetto that is lit up at night, at the corner of Cherokee Road and Garland Avenue in Florence.”
Congratulations to two others who correctly identified this perplexing mystery — David M. Taylor of Darlington and Bryan Couch of Florence. Taylor added this thought: “Also, you may remind readers (as I was recently informed by my children) the crescent on the flag does NOT represent the moon. I did a little research and discovered it’s true! “
Thanks all!
