I see it too! Hooray for me!

I also notice that the last floor slab is thicker and those two columns directly adjacent to the V "notch" are not sitting directly on top of the columns beneath them and they also appear to be smaller. That would explain why that floor took a little bit longer.

AAAAAmazing. Who ever gets to wash this thing is going to be rich.

Finishing up the July time lapse....

Looks so small! Also, the Ford Service Parts building is still there.

aw, the good old days!

Floor Plan calls these areas out as lanterns.....

5311,
English please? I saw Green Lantern but I don't know what that has to do with the Devon Tower ;-)

Sources of illumination?

New banner.

Updated! Thanks William!

That's three images stitched together and every power line and pole removed.

My coworker says, "remove the print. It looks good on a post card but not as an internet forum header."

Maybe that was the point of the second one.

We have a winner.

The banner guy is our hero. :-O

Keep an eye out for a surprise tomorrow morning...perhaps late tonight...

Will, if you try to sneak into my house late tonight, I'm taking out a VPO on you. LOL.

^^Flawless!Will,how many actual hours of footage does it take to make a video like this?

A typical full day, before it gets hot, is around 6:30am to noon. For six hours of walking and sitting still, I might get 5-6 minutes of video. I only went out in the morning, as you can probably tell. This month, I usually went out on Wednesday and got that week's progress.

Well OKCTalk forumers and I myself thank you for your contributions to this site with helping archive this tower!Your videos and pics will be seen and shared for many years to come!I'm getting positive feedback on other sites about your videos.

A+ William, as usual. Great job! Very much appreciated.

UnFrSaKn, my favorite part was the Canadian Geese. :-)

Looking at the Chase Tower, we can see that replaced windows are horrible...no match...so do anyone think there will be complete exterior renovation within our lifetime? Is there any way of knowing if Devon ordered hundreds of windows to be in storage and ready to replace?

When the tower is completed, I sure hope First National and Ramsey tower are completly filled with tenats, It looks like those 2 buildings have 0 people working in them

Amazing, as usual! You spoil us William.

Here is a screen capture of my favorite downtown perspective:

Thats the shot I was referring to that ended up being one of the best of the month.

^^That would be an awesome banner,not that the current one isnt!

I love that angle but think it would be even better from a little further NW and higher up; like from the Union Bank building or the top of the Marriott. That general area is also on higher ground to start with.

That way all the taller buildings would stand out more and you'd have a big carpet of trees in the foreground.

I love that view! It's the BEST!!

^^Driving on NW Expressway East from I-44 as soon as you clear the hospital there is an Awesome view of dt!I would love to see a pic of dt from the Union bank tower or Founders 360 or the Marriot!

Yeah. That is one of the best views. I like the little chapel that sneaks in the bottom right corner. Someone needs to put this on the OKC related Wikipedia pages for OKCs skyline...

You rather mean Hefner Parkway or Hwy 74. I-44 curves more easterly at NW 39th Street, as they merge into each other. The view you're referring to is traveling on NW Expressway and hitting the stoplight at Independence Avenue going eastbound.

I know of someone that lives in Founders facing downtown. Unfortunately it's a person through a person. I'll work magic if you can produce a dSLR with a 300mm telephoto lens accompanying it!

I agree. Someone please put that DT picture on the OKC Wikipedia pages (ALL OF THEM)!

Hopefully someone can put it on the Wikipedia "List of largest cities by population in the U.S." page.

Hopefully someone can put it on the Wikipedia "List of largest cities by population in the U.S." page.

Agreed. The current pic is off the highway, and while a good pic, is not a good pic for that forum.

This should be the new Wikipedia pic for OKC! Whoever is responsible for updating the page, use this one, its great.

^^Yeah your right,I had a brain fart!Were all aloud one a day,but you obviously knew what I was trying to say.

Do we really need the long banner?

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j286/UnFrSaKn/okctalkbannerversion4.jpg

That's the best one to be used!!!

I like it better but how would it look up top?The current one is just fine,it's really just which one fits up top better and really ultimately up to you!

It depends. We have many uses standard screens and the few uses widescreen. lol

How tall is the devon tower currently in meters?

does anybody know how tall the devon tower is currently?

Thunder, I don't see what you're talking about concerning the Chase Tower. It looks the same as always to me and I don't see any replaced windows. Maybe you're looking at the floors or individual windows that are using interior shading at times which makes them look different.

Not sure who these guys are, but apparently some architecture students in France (?) have taken on the Devon Tower as a project.

Hey, it's all good. I just didn't want people to do Tim Taylor's high pitched "uuuuggh?" from Home Improvement ;-)

Because the indentions represent a much smaller area but still allow for lots of effects that run the entire height of the building. Also, I'm told there will be a ton of lighting in the crown, which will be the most visible part. The cost is all about lineal feet of LED.

i thought all the fins had the LEDs in them... do they serve another purpose?

how tall is the devon tower currently? does anyone know?

Anyone know if the area above the "V" on the webcam view will be an open area for viewing or something like that? Perhaps to do with the restaurant?

Does anyone know what that construction is by the Sandrige building? Or if there is any? I heard a while back that they were building something but never heard anything else about that subject .....
