Latest in the series.  Retired photographer Frank Siteman has taken photos of places downtown, and your job is to guess where they were taken.  If you know the answer, send an email to editor@winchesternews.org and put How well in the subject line.  

Last time we had four winners. Michael Arwe (who gets honorable mention for guessing half of the answer), Jeremy Elliot, S. Engel and Susan Verdicchio identified the image as the World War I memorial statue near Lincoln School. See last week’s to refresh your memory.  

A graduate of Tufts, Frank has taught photography at many institutions and traveled the world to take photos for various publications.  His yard on Pond Street backs up to Horn Pond and he frequently displays nature photos on the Facebook Friends of Horn Pond group.  Check him out at https://franksiteman.com/work.
