Sky over Wendover

Here is a view of the sky over Wendover Avenue, taken from Benjamin Parkway looking east. Greensboro is a relatively flat city so it is not always easy to find expansive, open spaces for a panoramic view. This one was taken from a car window at a stop light while Mr. GDP was driving.The square building peeking out on the left is the fabulous Proximity Hotel. The environmentally-friendly Proximity was the first platinum, LEED rated hotel in the USA (read more). On a sunny day like this, the hotel's solar panels should be busy making energy. 

This beautiful sky with low-level, cumulus clouds was taken a while back. Thunder storms are predicted for Greensboro this weekend; however, let's hope for some nice weather so that we can drive to Sedgefield for the Wyndham Championship.  Even better, book a room at the Proximity by night and, by day, head to the Sedgefield Country Club to watch some amazing golf. In the meantime, we're sharing this photo with Skywatch Friday.

Hi Jan...love those sky shots with the huge, low-lying clouds. Sorry, I don't know who Peter Klaus is...do you know the name of his blog?

Have a great time at the Wyndham. Wish I was there. I haven't seen a golf tournament in about 15 years - the last one in Orlando. But I'll be watching this one on TV. Keep waving...maybe I'll see you behind the ropes...wait, I don't know what you look like. Wear red! :-)

Those clouds seem to be bearing down on the building below. Did they produce rain?

SKY SO HIGH

Sky so high,
Sky so blue,
Tell me why
I love you.
