You may have driven over this bridge but not thought about its underside, captured here by City Paper photographer Ruta Smith. Where is it? We’ll forward some City Paper swag to the 12th person who correctly answers the question and identifies this week’s mystery photo. To enter (one entry per person), send your guess, name and hometown in an email to: mystery@charlestoncitypaper.com.

LAST WEEK’S MYSTERY, “Not Santa,” was identified by more than two dozen alert City Paper readers! The photo taken by Smith showed a curious character, perhaps a jester, on top of the roof of the Jack of Cups bar and restaurant on Folly Beach. Hats off to area resident Susan Vigen for being the 7th person to identify the photo. Some swag is headed your way.

Every Monday, the City Paper offers a mystery photo taken somewhere in the Lowcountry. We encourage you to guess — and make sure to share your name and the town in which you live. We’ll uncover the mystery the following week and, every now and then, give a prize.

BONUS: If you want to submit a mystery photo taken by you for us to share, send it to our mystery email address. Make sure to put “Submission” in the subject line.

PAST MYSTERIES: While the guessing time on these mysteries is over, you might like seeing some old mystery photos that readers have puzzled over. Enjoy!
