This past weekend, most of North Carolina was covered in fog. Greensboro was eerily foggy. The above photo shows a street scene on Guilford College Road where it crosses Hilltop Road and becomes Piedmont Parkway. We share this photo in relief that, in Greensboro, we are talking about fog and not smog and air pollution like they are in China this week.* China's air is keeping people inside and, in Bejing alone thousands of people a day are being treated for respiratory problems.
If you want to keep up with Greensboro's air quality, our city givernment maintains a page here. If we consider what keeps a community healthy, air quality is a key component. For this NEW round of ABC Wednesday, we're going with another theme, "Keeping Greensboro Green." Today we are featuring A for air quality. Let's do everything we can to keep Greensboro green and to keep our air clean!

Does look a tad ominous. Air and water - the most vital stuff.

Clever idea for 'A'. Glad it was just fog for you.

"Keeping Greensboro Green" is a great device.I hope that this year we are all trying to live more attentive to the environment.

Well, I for one would prefer fog and mist to smog! You've captured it nicely.

Nothing like fresh air to keep the lungs working.
Makes one wonder why more isn't done about the air quality in China, since they have all the bucks nowdays.

I am used to a certain level of smog in warm weather here in So Cal, not that it is acceptable in any way but it is at much. much lower levels than back in the 1960 and 70s. Fog is lovely but so clingy and damp.
What a great theme for ABC Wednesday! We are going to learn things this round I am sure!
I decided to stick around for another round as well.
My theme is Antiques and Collectibles (I think I can manage that!) hopefully it will keep me on task.
