Double post.

I took this picture this evening from Integris Baptist.

Who said we don't have many trees? The lush green trees jumped out at me in this shot. Nice!

One of my favorite places to hangout, the rooftop of the Art Museum.

Yeah I think this is the best view of OKC, though there are other good views, too.

From this morning (note new construction crane in lower right corner):

Love it, Pete!

This is the view out of my home office:

Had relatives pass through OKC from Abilene, TX; they were really impressed with the Devon Tower. Referred to it as one of those great big Dallas buildings.

they all line up nicely in this pic.

That's one of my fav pics I've seen. Nicely framed perspective.

Beautiful video of the City!

WOW!! That is a great video..Wish they would of got drone images of the Adventure River District. Like the Skytrail and Whitewater Rapids under construction.

They did at least one of it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb1-SG6ZDvs

I would swear there was another drone pass a few months earlier but the only other video on the site a quick search showed looks like it just has a little ground footage with mostly concept art, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb1-SG6ZDvs

Almost ENTIRELY golden-hour shots. Which means that most of those shots were taken on different days. That represents quite a time commitment.

Panorama I took two weeks ago.

Those blue cranes to the lower right should make its impact on the skyline about this time next year.

Yes, love this angle and BOK Park Plaza should be topped out around the first of next year.

Although it will be about the same height as Oklahoma Tower, from this perspective it will appear taller since it is closer to the camera.

This probably isn't the right thread for this since it isn't the skyline, but I took this picture of NW Expwy/NW 63rd and Lake Hefner from my plane yesterday and thought it was pretty.

Beautiful shot! It's postcard worthy!

That's really beautiful.

Such an interesting perspective it took me a while to get oriented.

A little off topic but it's skyline related. Does any one know why OKC does not light up the downtown buildings during Thunder playoff games. I see scans of other cities during games and it seems like their building are lit up but when they show downtown OKC is it all pretty dark. I understand that there's prob. not many people in the buildings during Thunder games but lets show off the nightime skyline a little once in a while.

Additional costs of lighting those building at night--365-366 days a year.

Unfortunately I don't know how to copy/paste a pic into the forum, but I was looking at the News9 American Fidelity cam (http://www.news9.com/category/201373/skycam-network#american-fidelity) and realized that OKC now has at least 4 distinctive skylines: Downtown, Midtown, Uptown, and NW. Downtown, Midtown, and Uptown were clearly visible and separated/distinct at 4:40pm PDT when I was watching the web cam.

If anybody's reading this now, can you copy/paste the web cam image into this forum for prosperity? It will be interesting to see this same prospective as more highrises are added downtown and more mid to high rises are added in Midtown and midrises into Uptown.

We might even have a skyline developing on the Southside too - sometimes when looking at the OCC cam you can see a somewhat cluster of buildings in the southside area. ...

People probably don't know that OKC has multiple skylines. ...

Is this what you're talking about? I can see what you mean!

haha, ya - but I was looking at the pic when it was still daylight.

Hopefully tomorrow, can someone take a shot of it in the day (hopefully they wont move the shot). You can clearly see three distinct clusters of towers/buildings representing downtown (obviously) but also Midtown and Uptown. A great shot indeed.

Saw this cool image in the linked PDF!

Sorry for the double-post but it wouldn't let me go back and add my editorial notes: ..

I like this pic because it showcases OKC's multiple skylines (at least in the core). The only missing skyline here that is also well defined is the NW Business District.

Oklahoma City Skylines

Downtown Midtown Uptown/OCU

http://www.okctalk.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=12713&stc=1

One could argue there is another skyline in the core at the OHC/State Capitol which isn't captured too well in this shot. Other arguments not shown here are the Southside and Westside which have significant clusters of highrises that if it fills-in with more will be more substantial.

Anyway, I wanted to show this pic because although OKC is regarded as a small city/metro, it has multiple skylines throughout its city limits, much like larger cities. If OKC can expand on this and its residential density, it will really begin to feel more like a big city in more of the city (than just downtown).

Thanks to KayneMo for the Google Earth models of the Omni, 4th & EKG and BOK Park Plaza.

A couple of different views of the future skyline.

Nice to see the skyline expanding. I wouldn't consider this exciting by any means, but it is welcomed.

Yes it is exciting isn't it. Hopefully we can get several Talls downtown and keep this momentum going.

The spots where you would really want the next 40+ story buildings to go are the SE corner of the Ford lot, the SE corner of the Cox super block (if not another tall building on both sites), and any one of a number of lots on the NW site of downtown (the fabled BoA parking lot that we thought for so long would get some sort of major development)

One thing I really like is dense skylines as much as I like tall buildings. So while I do want to see OKC's skyline spread out and grow, I want it to stay dense in the core.

well for now anyway, OKC is getting less dense and also less tall.

but hopefully, this is an 'expansion' of sorts and the Cox site, Ford site, and the various infill opportunities take place (returning us to the dense skyline core, but larger) and hopefully at least a few exceed 500 feet (giving us some height).

although I do wish BOKP was taller, I am impressed with the massing and relative height for its location so far and looking forward to the next 11 floors and crown completed. Hopefully it does exceed 433 and end up being near or exceeding 500.

They had a chance to build the 2nd tallest building in downtown with BOK. Don't really understand why they didn't go for it.

Wow, really nice.

It's a great pic but emphasizes how dark our downtown buildings are at night.

Ljbab - It was pretty late when this was shot. Office workers had already gone home. Can't wait for Gary Brooks & Charlie Nicolas to get First National's beacon lit up again!

lookin' nice

I hate the Devon Tower more and more every day. Damn thing sticks out like a sore thumb.

I wish we'd get some 50+ story buildings to help balance it out. At least 3 would be nice.

Oh wow. Nobody on this site can ever be pleased or happy with anything in OKC.

I love what a unique landmark the Devon Tower is on OKC's skyline. It's unique in a good way.

i concur with Spartan,

but i also agree with Panda in that a few more on the NW and NE side of he cbd would be awesome..
