Favorite Skyline Shots

This is my new favorite photo of that bridge.

Thank you! Been wanting that shot since I saw it on a Slice magazine cover and I think it turned out swell!

[HOT ROD]

side note about the pic, interesting that the freeway lights are on. ...

Took this while out on my bicycle today. Looking west from Russell Perry. I thought it was an interesting contrast between old/undeveloped and new.

I love that tree but fear it won't be around much longer.

Yep, I was thinking the same thing. It'd sure be cool if it could somehow be worked into whatever development happens to that lot, but I won't be holding my breath.

Co-worker took this picture last evening:

I know it isn't the best quality, but I took this from the Waterford Renaissance Friday night as the clouds were rolling in.

Kyle, where did you get that photo?

[Laramie]

If you were in the downtown area yesterday evening (Friday, 03-24) it appears as though the BOK Park Plaza Tower has finished the glass work; time for the crown to top off this project.

Kyle, where did you get that photo?

My friend sent it to me the other day, Why?

My friend sent it to me the other day, Why?

Just wondering where it came from since it was obviously shot by a drone.

Just wondering where it came from since it was obviously shot by a drone.

I googled image searched it and it seems to come from a guy name Drew Clardy.

Also not sure if this has been posted before but love this video.

Awesome video, Kyle!

Recall in the late 1970s & 80s, it seemed like everyone was moving to the Metroplex. OKC didn't have 25% of the things presented in that clip. We've made great strides since Mayor Ron Norick rolled out the Metropolitan Area Projects plan which completed its first major project in April, 1998.

Think about it; Oklahoma City's downtown was on life-support. A Roman Catholic priest had been called in to administer Extreme Unction (meaning, Final Anointing). Tulsa wouldn't claim us as a sister. Oklahoma City open the Myriad Convention Center in 1973, we didn't have any major quality hotels downtown until the 395-room Sheraton Century Center open in 1975 some 2 years later.

As we prepare for the decade of the 20s (Streetcar, Convention Center, AICCM, Landrun Monument, Downtown Park), OKC will solidify herself as a 'Big League City,' poised to compete with those cities in the next level.

Reality check: OKC has all the amenities and more that you'd expect in a city of its size, still needs to work on weaving it together into a pleasing environment without construction detours in between everything, and is not good enough to get complacent and let it go for another 20 years like we did before.

From today:

I know BOK is supposed to be a foot shorter, but it is higher the Oklahoma Tower.
I was driving North on I-35 and somewhere between 59th and 44th it looks taller than Oklahoma tower. It must be sitting on higher ground ?
And it wasn't one building being closer than the other from that vantage point.

[_Kyle]

That is beautiful! Where was this taken?

[94GTStang]

Just a quick pano with a DJI Mavic. Probably would have been better if the sun was down a little more...

Those boathouses are cool from this view.

BOK looks taller than Oklahoma Tower.

The #okcfoa hashtag on insta is churning out some pretty great skyline shots right now.
