Greensboro Historical Museum: Up on the Rooftop

The Greensboro Historical Museum is undergoing a multimillion dollar renovation, outside as well as inside. Here we see two roofers finishing their working day on the museum's rooftop. We were impressed at how hard the men were working and how safety conscious they seemed to be. Renovations will take over a year, but will be well worth the wait! The museum remains open to the public and, as always, is FREE!

While the sky wasn't actually white on the day this photo was taken, it appears that way in this black and white photo. Thank you for stopping by our website on your Skywatch Friday tour!

One of those shots that works really well in black and white. We had scaffolders working on the house a couple of months ago and I was impressed (and relieved!) by how safety conscious they were, too.

Very interesting approach to the theme. So refreshingly different. Me like. A lot! Happy SWF!

I like how the shot shows the museum being renovated. I know it will be great to have it finished. I've enjoyed the major renovation and addition being made to the NC Museum of Art where I live.

Perfect silhouette!

I'm glad they're safety conscious. Our workers seem to think they can bounce if they fall!

Still a great shot even though the sky is white, magnificent in fact, with the workers silhouetted against it. Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting!
