Think how much better it would look with the coop turned into something useful.

That is such a beautiful photo of the city! It's my new desktop wallpaper!

Reddit user CNiblett took this two days ago

^ Wow!!!

Dang, now that's a good one.

I'm sick in the head. That's a beautiful photo but the first thing I thought was rrrrggghhh that Rick Dowell 3rd world Garage.... Why do you do this to me, Mr. Dowell. Why??

This is another fantastic shot from the same reddit user:

Amazing.

It's crazy to think what the skyline would look like if the Devon Tower was the original height at 925'!

^ Awesome!

Awesome pics, Pete.

Loved the balanced look of this pic Pete. Great job!

Love this shot from a Zillow listing in Heritage Hills:

I think this would do well on r/cityporn

I want to take a photo with all the green in the foreground in the Gatewood area but still have the buildings line up like the last photo I posted.

I think I know how I want to compose it, will just have to try some different spots.

^ That would look great. One spot maybe from Rosary Catholic parking lot?

I took this from too far away, but it's the general idea.

There is a way to do this where there is a ton of mature, green trees in the foreground and the buildings lined up in that perfect perspective from the WNW.

Nice. Love that urban forest.

And Mount Trashmore in the background! Who says we don't have mountains!?

Pete, you've gained experience--that's post card material.

Day ruined...

http://www.dougloudenback.com/downtown/vintage/1920s.criterion.jpg

Memories of downtown Oklahoma City. Many structures are gone but not forgotten...

Yes too bad they didn't keep everything in the above 1968 photo and add everything we have now. We would be looking at a totally different skyline and downtown.

Even in that photo there are a lot of buildings down in favor of surface parking.

Looovveee it!

As an expat who hasn't been home in a while, just want to say I love looking at all these pictures. So thank you to all. Quick question: my most familiar memories of the skyline are looking due south - from the Broadway Extension around Britton/Wilshire. I haven't seen a pic from that angle and was wondering at the gap between Devon and the new BOK bldg. Does it look pretty close so it retains the dense look? Or is there a pretty big gap? Just curious and would love to see a pic from that angle if anyone has one.

Thank you Bellaboo!

This is fantastic.

Belle Vue (beautiful view).

It's interesting how these pictures featuring bricktown attempt to crop out as much surface parking as possible. Almost like they aren't pretty enough ;)

Imagine how dense it would be in Bricktown if all the surface lots were replaced with development. Speaking of which, what ever happened to that proposed 10 story building for Bricktown?

To be fair, who takes photos of parking lots when they're trying to get a nice skyline pictures? 😏

The irony of which is that if everything was kept that's in that '68 photo, there wouldn't be room to add everything we have now. ...what a waste.

At this angle, I can envision the new Omni Hotel filling in that space between Devon and BOK. The skyline has been on a nice growth spurt the last few years.

Cool shot, but it would've been better if the poster hadn't photoshopped the sky in. :rolleyes:

Remember that hotel and apartment floors are not as high as office buildings.

I'm afraid unless you are shooting the skyline from the south or southeast, the Omni won't be making much of an impact on the skyline.

Went to eat at 3Sixty Tuesday evening and, as others have mentioned, the food was great and the views are definitely worth it. I love seeing the city from this angle.

Went to 3Sixty July 4th. Definitely a must do at some point.

Tony Gaeddert has an awesome site. Unbelievable shots of "Stonewall Jackson School" which is now an elementary school. The Spanish facade of that building is breathtaking.

Will Rogers Park has really made some improvements over the last ten years.

Plan to sign up for his flicker site.

What a jewel MBG will be in 15 years. If the park has any amount of quality frontage on Hudson, Robinson, and Reno, it will be a *world*-class environment.

May I use this photo on the back cover of the Classen HS alumni magazine, with credit to the source of course? Many of the alumni are out of the state -- we have at least one in every state except South Dakota -- and would be amazed to see how much has changed about downtown!
