Just to chime in with an interesting link, check out the intersection of 
Groomtown and I-85 in Greensboro.  For those familiar with this area, 
it's changed dramatically in the last 6 to 18 months, as they cut 
through the new section of I-85 that bypasses Greensboro.  
Consequentially, I'd say that picture had to be taken with in the last 6 
months or so.  There are cars on the new stretch of highway, which was 
opened some time in the last year for sure, possibly the last 6 months, 
I can't pin it in my mind exactly.  As a bonus, there's neat wispy 
clouds in that area as well that cast interesting shadows.  :)
