Fisher Park is featured on GDP again. There are just so many beautiful houses there and, after all, it was "Greensboro's first planned suburb park." In 1902, real estate investor Captain Basil John Fisher deeded 28 acres to the City of Greensboro (14 east and 14 west of Elm Street). Were he alive today, Captain Fisher would be pleased to see the neighborhood named for him. As we've seen this week, houses in Fisher Park are well maintained and have great character. This robin's egg blue house is found on South Park Drive overlooking the actual neighborhood park. Greensboro's Historical Museum has archived digitally many papers relevant to the interesting and generous Captain Fisher-- find the link here.
On another note, some of you may know that Greensboro Daily Photo is one of over 1,000 City Daily Photo sites. Eric Tenin began this movement with his Paris Daily Photo five years ago. He is known for his interesting perspective when taking photos. This orientation is not as drastic as Eric's but we did take a side/low angle shot. Eric has not missed a day of posting on his blog in 5 years! Click here to view thumbnails for all participants

Your rainbow of houses is quite amazing. This blue house is the prettiest so far, IMHO.

I like the perspective. Nice capture of tones and contrasts, and very nostalgic looking...a lovely photo.

What a pretty and delicate shade of blue!
Feel free to feature more houses from Fisher Park, especially if they're all this lovely. :)
