Yeah, I saw it tonight on KFOR. I thought about posting on Tuttle's Facebook page saying "yo, you're like 800 feet tall!".

Very nice time-lapse of downtown by Tanner Herriott:

Short, and no sound. But still a great visual -- those clouds bubbling away and moving over the downtown skyline...

Dang. That's about a $30,000 camera, if memory serves.

Probly shot in 4K.

This is a cool shot:

Love the coloration. Too bad DT's crown is not lit, and that so many buildings are dark (but it's twilight -- probably just before a lot of the lighting kicked in).

I am so aching for the Devon Tower to get some bright, colorful company in that skyline!

Great aerial posted at the City Of OKC facebook page:

It's quite recent too, as you can make out the construction and steel frame at the downtown elementary school.

Looking at the shot reminds me of how great it would be if/when we take out the Cox Convention Center, re-instate California, and then put in a collection of mid to high rise buildings there.

Looking at this reminds me how much I want to doze the century center, if for no other reason that the Baum building used to sit there.

I was getting ready to type virtually the same exact thing. I wish I knew how to do a digital rendering (like you)...oh hey, say, can you do that for us? Pretty please Praedura?? With sugar on top??? :cool:

You know... I just may do that. At least put it on my to-do list.

I was looking at that aerial shot and thinking about how to populate the center section, and then I had a idea.
Specifically, if you have a tried-and-true building design that has stood the test of time, why not just re-use it?

And so...

Looks like a circuit board.;)

Oh crap. The Vogons are here.

While the tower's design holds up well for buildings of it's era, variety is certainly a virtue, the cluster replacing the myriad kind of starts to feel like a 60's style projects.

Reminds me of Inception.

Would rather see the Arena and Exhibit halls sit empty and collecting dust than see that nightmare happen.
Hmmmm, would that be something like stagecenteritis?

That third one is outstanding and an angle you don't often see. Love the density in the middle left; DD and BT.

Thanks for posting these.

From that area of Lake Hefner, you can see both skylines pretty well on a clear day.

It's all about the lens.

I wanted to make a snarky comment about how Founder's is almost as tall as Devon and that we should have put that tower down there…but then I decided I didn't want to deal with all the people telling me how that's not possible...

Very stylish nighttime panorama:

Especially love the night shots here. Downtown OKC at night is becoming one sexy lady.

Yep. The shots from on top of the garage make me want to envision the streetcar tracks and Will having to wait for it to roll around so he can include it, and by that time, the SC Tower...

I don't have a pic to post, but I was on a group bicycle ride last night and we paused SE of downtown to regroup. Looking across the Oklahoma River and boathouses to the CBD skyline to the NW, it was a stunning sight. It was a clear night with no wind and temps in the 50s, and I was one of 18 friends on bikes riding along the river before having dinner together.

We have so much to be thankful for.

That's cool. I can well imagine how that looked, and felt. Thanks for passing that along. (too bad you didn't have a camera with you!)

As much as I despise car commercial, that's a good one.

Also good to see OUR skyline instead of some other city's and them try and pass it off as OKC.

Couldn't agree more, local car commercials make me queezy, especially the hard-sell variety. Fortunately the Cooper Auto Group's agency approached us with an open mind and a big enough budget to produce something people half way enjoy watching.

I've always liked the view from the Skyline Diner on S.E. 15th just
west of S. Eastern. The food is good, not fashionable or decadent.
It's just good and much like Coit's was.

Since you don't watch TV, there is no way to explain local commercials to you.

Also my favorite since I grew up across I-35 from there and went to school at CO.

I saw one in an article about another city trying to pass a MAPS style tax, I liked it because it is from a vantage point that is rarely shot from so at first I just assumed it was their downtown and kept reading till a little later I looked back at the photo and recognized Devon tower, of course it did not take long to recognize the other buildings once I knew it was here but overall it is a much more modern look than many angle of the city.

When I was a kid we ate at the Chandelle Club, atop the Founder's
Tower, several times per month. We'd be seated on the carousel
during brunch after church. The late great "Dub Farley" would
play piano. I gigged with him some 20 years later. Watching the
cars buzz around the neighborhoods was too cool and not to
mention you could see all of OKC and beyond.

Aside... nothing was cooler than a 16 year old (read me) taking
a date to the restaurant and signing the tab afterwards. Did you
know the menu for the female didn't have prices listed? Today's
restaurants could learn a thing or two from that barbaric custom.

Also my favorite since I grew up across I-35 from there and went to
school at CO.
Prunette attended CO. Do you remember the Dairy Boy (?) on 15th?
She mentioned the Frito Chili Pies that were still in the bag and how
the owner would let them eat in the back porch if it was cold.

How did your date know how much to pay then? :D

She wasn't supposed to know. There were no prices so she could
honestly and truly order what she wanted without reservation.

But that doesn't answer the question about how she could know how much she would have to pay. Surely she would want to know ahead of time. LOL

Wait...there was a male menu and a female menu? Did they have separate gender-specific water fountains too?

I used to go to a restaurant in Miami that had no prices on any menu. Was a favorite of one of my clients. Always made me nervous when he wanted to go there. It wasn't cheap.

Wait...there was a male menu and a female menu? Did they have separate gender-specific water fountains too?I don't see the menu thing as bad, just depends on the situation. If you don't want your date to know how much the item is so she doesn't feel guilty, is that a bad thing? The water fountain thing is just stupid and I highly doubt they would be like that. There is no reason to separate the water fountains.

...If you don't want your date to know how much the item is so she doesn't feel guilty, is that a bad thing? ...

I don't know, perhaps you should ask a roomful of women. Regarding the water fountain thing, I think you missed my cultural reference entirely.

I don't know, perhaps you should ask a roomful of women. Regarding the water fountain thing, I think you missed my cultural reference entirely.So if segregation in any form for any reason is bad (in your opinion), how do you feel about unisex rest rooms or fitting rooms in a public facility? Even the "equal opportunity" folk seem to realize that certain jobs might be gender-specific...

I used to go to a restaurant in Miami that had no prices on any menu....
That was a normal procedure until the late 70's. The man was given a menu
with prices and the woman was given a menu that didn't have prices. The
idea was to allow the woman to order what she wanted without reservation.
Of course, if the woman ordered something off the charts the man had the
ability to suggest something else or change his order to offset her order.

I did it many times at the Chandelle Club in the Founder's Tower. I loved
it when she'd order the (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CC4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FChateau briand_steak&ei=Ta_HUp_zCJTmoAT0t4LICw&usg=AFQjCNGKmN_iD71yQYSGLeZFdYX6-uG25g&sig2=FwGrAiuuaPVGpKdzVOO5rA&bvm=bv.58187178,d.cGU)chateaubriand.

Oh good grief, this is so anti feminist. Not that it matters.
