Pete, That 8-10-18 picture is simply incredible. It almost has a natural 3D-like pop to it that makes it magical. There's some great pictures throughout this thread, but that really is just made for a postcard. Methinks you should consider publishing a set of cards. This pic alone would sell, sell, sell. Great work!

From the perspective of that picture, will the Omni end up left or right of Devon tower? For balancing things out it be nice if it ended up between Devon and the BOK tower, but I have a feeling it'll be to the left or just behind Devon instead.

You can see the roof of the CHK Arena just to the right of Devon tower and the Omni will be just right of that.

Hoping it will fall between Devon and BOK Park Plaza but from that angle it will be pretty small.

Driving along I-44 between Penn and May on the northside, there is Impressions. They just installed an amazing skyline piece on the outside of their building. Definitely looks good while zooming by, imagine it looks nice up close.

Mount Trashmore rising impressively in the distance...

I've used Impressions on a few projects and they do a great job.

They seem to be thriving and I'm glad to see that.

nice but missing BOKPP, would be even better with it.

Great Pic, Pete!

What a colossal waste of air-space the century center is for such a prime lot. I know they did some nice things inside the building, but that lot really needs to be 15 stories minimum...40 would be more ideal.

Could they not add more floors on top of the parking floors??

The redevelopers looked at adding a few more levels of parking but discovered it to be price prohibitive.

We really need to get rid of the Cox Center and build more high rises there.

Are legitimate discussions being had yet on what kind of development will go on the Cox block? I really hope that high-rise residential is a possibility, especially since the Times Square development looks to be on hold/cancelled.

So are we just wanting to build tall buildings to have tall buildings when they can't even fill what is already there?

I don't believe we have any tall residential buildings downtown with high vacancies at all.

The second photo is probably the best shot of OKC I have ever seen.

Didn't realize how much surface parking Bricktown still had!?! :eek:

This one shows the enormity of everything happening south of the boulevard (open in new tab for higher res):

Great picture, Pete!! All except for that gigantic waste of space with the Co-op used to be...no closer to being developed than it was when it was torn down.

Looky here! For the first time in a couple of years, SandRidge Tower is all lit up.

Hope this means it will remain so in the new year.

http://www.okctalk.com/images/pete/skyline010219.jpg

SandRidge lit up again last night. Really nice to see.

I work at Impressions! I'm one of the graphic designers.

Seems like a great company.

And I live in the neighborhood just to the north and west.

Speaking of Impressions, they keep adding random stuff to the outside of their building. If you haven't driven by in a while please go check it out. There is just about everything you could think of plus more! The owner is just making it rain!!

What a great shot. Would like to see it in the summer with the city more green, and in the fall with the colors. Should be a tourism photo. Invites many, many captions.

Agreed. When I saw that on Twitter, I had the same reaction. And you're right about getting the same shot in late spring.

Just took this one:

Love it!

I see the Omni cranes between BOKPP and Devon. Will fill in the gap from this angle.

Got back into OKC from DFW late last night and saw the Sandridge tower was still lit up. I agree, it makes a huge difference in the look of the skyline to have it lit. Looking forward to seeing BancFirst's new crown installed and lit.

Can I make a request for a shot?

It would need to be taken near I-40 and Reno Ave (Actually on I-40 would be best). The spot I am talking about is at the top of the hill on the highway there, just before going down and taking the curve across the river (Headed west on I-40). From that vantage point, you get to see the scissor tail bridge, Downtown, Midtown and the Medical Research Area, along with the Capitol building.

It was lit up at 7:00 this morning also.

Really cool drone video! I've seen a number of good drone videos of the Oklahoma City area, but this is some of the best. This kind of thing needs to be used by the state and city as a way of promoting the city/state. What's the name of the song you set the video to?

I am not sure who the artist is. It is a stock song that is built into the DJI editing app. It is called Initiation.

Even further out west:

I would love to see this and other far away pics (Newcastle, Edmond, far MWC, etc) now that BOK is complete.

Was a little hazy today so not the best photo, but a different perspective with Wheeler Park in the foreground.

http://www.okctalk.com/images/pete/skyline020820a.jpg

FYI to anyone who cares, in the vicinity of Douglas Avenue & SW 15th, you can get a great skyline shot with the Wheeler Ferris Wheel in the foreground.

Imagine what that view will be like as the Strawberry Fields area fills in, as well as any other areas that development can squeeze into.

Been working from home for 4 days, have gotten a little distracted.

Very cool. Thanks!

Took these last night - right-click and open in a new tab to see bigger images.

Some things to note: 1) First National Center has lights on; 2) so does the Parkside Building; 3) you can see Skydance Bridge and the Wheeler ferris wheel if you look closely.

Thank you, Pete. Wonderful shots.

oh man... those are stunning pictures!

Those pictures pop! Chamber of Commerce worthy.

If you haven't done it recently, go downtown (Myriad Gardens, Scissortail, Midtown, Bricktown, Film Row, Deep Deuce) around 8 or 9 on a Friday or Saturday night during the summer.

Tons of people out walking, riding scooters, sitting on patios... And it never ceases to make me feel very happy.

I've always thought that Oklahoma would be a very popular place to live if it was 8-10PM June-July-August all (lighting and weather wise) year long.

Feel the same way. I cannot tell you how many times I drive in to OKC during the evening just to take in the positive changes which have taken place over the past few years. Makes me feel refreshed for whatever reason.

I kinda like the view from the rooftop from my new listing coming up in the Centennial Lofts (shameless plug lol)
